This WWI style aviator cap is perfect for flying or motoring during the hotter months! It is made of full grain leather and is lightweight, with functional ear protection flaps. The button-down goggles strap retainers on the back are another nice functional touch. The chin strap works nicely. I purchased it for an open-cockpit airplane ride, knowing my heavy shearling RAF helmet would be much too hot. I will certainly look the part while experiencing feats of derring-do!

This was a birthday gift for my dad to use while driving his model A speedster. He loves it. He normally wears a 7 1/2 size hat and I ordered an XL and it fits great!

This helmet is exactly what I needed! Size does run a bit small but the extra large fit me perfectly. The helmet is very well sewn and the leather a good quality. It is accurate to the time period I am representing for a fancy event. Good price and fast shipping! I will definitely be looking at other items from Historical Emporium in the future.
Was looking for a nice helmet for some time to drive my roofless car, and reading the reviews I have decided to purchase from here.
Good quality leather, well made.
The shipping cost is quite steep to Japan, it would be great if there would be cheaper shipping options on offer.

It's a pretty good copy at a good price,
Thanks
High quality leather helmet, super comfy, went with larger size based on other reviews and was not disappointed! Does NOT come with the goggles, but I got some on eBay for less than $10.

This product came in a timely manner. I had originally ordered the black one and they allowed me to switch it to the brown one. This is not a NATOPS approved helmet. You are not allowed to wear this while on the flight deck of a carrier. I found that out the hard way.
We are a prop company, Spring Creek PROP Farm located in Alabama and had a call from a local museum doing a WW2, one man show. The leather flight cap was exactly what we needed! Great quality!

I act in independent films and perform historical reenactment of different time periods. For these, I do my own costuming and pride myself on being as historically accurate as possible. If you research Aviator Helmets they come in many shapes, sizes and styles in history. This helmet was as close to what I needed as I could find. The quality is excellent. I have a large head and ordered an XL and it fits fantastic. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

Very good quality leather. But like the other reviews said, this runs very small, so I ordered one size up and the larger size fits just fine.
