Faux Leather Aviator Helmet - Distressed Brown

The first one I got was mush too small although it was mark M. I decided to keep it so girlfriend could use it. Then I ordered a size Large, but you were out of them, so I ordered 2 Extra Large ones incase I had a dude going up with me. I do very much like the two helmets and the goggles.

Quality product at a great price!

I was expecting the goggles to be included with the helmet for the price but they weren’t.

Great quality got the biggest size and fits like a glove

Fits good and is very cool looking when driving my 1903 Olvera

I had purchased a black aviator helmet prior for fall and winter driving in an open classic vehicle. The black leather gets a tick warm on high temp days. So I purchased this Faux Leather Helmet which is made out of cloth for warmer days. It is as advertised and fits quite well. So let's say if you wear a large size leather, this one will fit. Anything bigger than large it will not. Good value in my book.

Motorcycle rider, like the leather Aviator. Greet purchase fits to size.

A little hard to buckel

Initially I ordered the medium Leather Aviator Helmet in Black. The sizing chart was used. Anyhow, I ordered the Large which arrived quickly and fit well. I looked up the return policy and followed the directions. The return was received and credit processed in short order. On the helmet itself I found the strap buckle arrangement to be cumbersome. So I had my tailor convert the strap with velcro, added a piece to the helmet and eliminated the buckle. Works quite well.

I ordered this along with the goggles as a gift for a family member. The sizing guide was perfect, everything fit and the quality of product was fantastic! Highly recommended!

I just bought a Morgan +8, so bought this (and some goggles) to motor around in. Fit is perfect, soft, and well made.

Great service, arrived within a few days of ordering. And, ordering a size larger was the ticket---the helmet fits perfectly, along with the Barnstormer Goggles!

Great helmet. I had a set of these 30 years ago and they hardly changed. High quality leather and craftsmanship

I use these in vintage open cars. They ad comfort to it.
Great quality product

Very well made my son loves this so much its a must buy

This helmet is well made, looks great, fits well. I have one I purchased a couple years ago and use it driving our Model T Ford Speedster. I just purchased another as a gift.

Beware that it now comes with a sticker on the package that warns that it may contain chemicals know to the State of California to possibly cause cancer. They don't say what the chemical is nor tell you if you are at risk if you simply wear it or chew on it. If you are giving this as a gift - decide if the receiver will have problems with that. At least it is made in Germany - which I trust way more than if it was made in China. The sticker is easily removed from the package.

Couldn't be happier with the purchase fits perfect and gave me the look I was going for. When piloting a sleigh and eight reindeer six miles up, well let's just say it's breezy and a bit nippy!

I purchased a Medium based on the size chart for a client. It was much smaller, to the point I assumed it had been mislabeled and was a Small. I returned it for a Large and that fit more like the Medium should. Otherwise it looks good, has a lot of nice details. PS they will charge you again for shipping if you do an exchange, plus you pay to mail it back to them, so that's a fairly chunky add to the cost.

So...let's just throw it out there...you might as well go ahead and purchase one, because you won't find better unless you have one custom made. The material is top quality, the stitching well done, the fit is good if you order one size larger than your hat size, the price is very good, and most people will think it's the greatest helmet they've ever seen, which is probably true. HOWEVER...if you are a history buff, this helmet is oh so close, but not quite.

Overall, the design is pretty accurate, and is a good representation of WWI to 1930s helmets. To make it a really fantastic helmet and completely historical, however, three problems should be addressed. 1. The ear hole is in the wrong place (at least for me). This is the biggest problem that I could find. It should be placed further rearward and the flap made longer to cover it. You can see what I mean if you google images of original helmets. This probably won't matter to anyone else unless they plan on actually using the helmet in an open cockpit, as I do. 2. The straps are not quite right, but serviceable. The straps at the back to hold the goggles in place are buttoned and unfinished. They should either be sewn or use snaps. The keeper for the main strap after it is fastened is also too small and will probably eventually break. 3. The main buckle is a roller buckle, which wasn't invented until the 1950s.

For these reasons, I knocked it down a star. I will probably modify mine by changing the position of the ear hole and adding a longer flap to cover it, but otherwise it really is a great helmet, and I would (and probably will) order it again. Customer service and shipping was also good, so overall a big win.

I have an antique (‘29) speedster. This will go well with my goggles and white scarf to complete my driving outfit. So far, friends and family love it. Fit is perfect. Quality is excellent. Thank you for an awesome product!

I have wanted a "leather" flying helmet since I first watched Snoopy. One of my favorite movies growing up was the Blue Max. I now have a "Leather" flying helmet that fits my pumpkin of a head.

Hello,

While I like the leather and the helmet itself, I was disappointed that the rear buckle broke very easily. Luckily I do not need said buckle and will enjoy my hat regardless.

Thanks,
Bill

The quality was better than I expected. I'll be using this in my open cockpit plane.

This helmet is cool and functional - wear it all the time. The detail and craftsmanship is the highest level of excellence. I was so very surprised on inspection at the over the top quality in the new world of sloppy made products.

Only one small regret about purchasing this…My husband may wear it on a date night in the fun car and yes I may have to be seen with him. Doh! Otherwise I really like the edges that have an orange tint as they match his goggles perfectly. Yep kind of regretting those goggles as well… The helmet was well made and it was nice to find something with size options.

Very well made , genuine cowhide , authentic , looks great riding my motorcycle. Size runs small ,I got a medium , it fits well. Highly recommend

I love the look and feel of the leather. The construction of the headgear is outstanding! Thanks

Real leather. Fits well, follow sizing chart. Warm, covers ears & back neck.

Bought for a historical flight sim online streaming marathon charity event. It is a little uncomfortable after hours of wearing it with an aviation headset but it is excellent!!!! It's more that the aviation headset pushes the leather against your head but again that's after HOURS of wearing it. I bought this because it was authentic, I want to fly a bi-plane or at least take a ride in one someday, and it totally fit with my 27 hour online charity flight sim marathon event of the 1926 US Airmail Route. I love the helmet! 5 stars for the excellent leather quality, the fact that you can wear a modern aviation headset with it (wore my Bose A20 ANC aviation headset for the whole event), and that it looks great with the goggles I bought. It really helped make the visuals/appearance excellent for the event and I wear it now whenever I stream with appropriate aircraft on the flight sim.

Awesome!
