    Usually plenty at the local Op Shop.
    I got one a few years back for an RACV Rally where they asked for 'period dress'. I even managed to find a tweed tie.......

    One of the regular habitués of SE Qld. motor cycle swap meets parades around in a genuine pith helmet. He has to guard it closely as it is the goal of quite a number of his fellow members to acquire the helmet and pith in it.

    You'll need a pair of 'Bombay bloomers' to complete the costume.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    I was browsing that site and showed SWMBO because I thought she would be amused by some of the Victorian ladies outfits.

    Now she wants a Battenburg Lace Parasol.

    If I remember correctly they were worn by the British when in the jungle to stop the monkeys pithing on them, hence the name........

    Did you get a cheesecutter cap and jodphurs as well? If so, you could join one of the snobby vintage sports car clubs. Might need a British Racing Drivers Club tie at some.
