Is this the pillbox topi you're talking about, Rusty? This one in the pix was a gift my last visit to Nepal and is not for sale.

I haven't the foggiest idea, having never seen one. That I know of. IIRC the pillbox was seen in India near Nepal, and was called a kullu or kubbu topi.

Also, the black tourist topi I got that said Nepal had one side lower than the other with the oval forming the top kinda angled. That's the one that holds it's shape. Don't think so but maybe that's one you could call a pillbox.
