Depending on what your friend was wanting to use the helmet for there is a company here in NZ that has pioneered the use of hard shell leather helmets.The warbird guys love them apparently. They provide real protection but still look the part in a warbird.

The company is called Campbell Aero Classic NZ Ltd

www.campbellaeroclassics.com

Although manly WWII they may have what your friend is after if he is looking to actually use it in anger so to speak.

Thanks for the leads which I have passed on to him-not sure why my friend wants this -may want it to go with his sopwith camel goggles and white silk scarf ????

Greg, your friend wouldn't by chance have long ears and a tail, would he?

I should have placed a comma between camel and goggles lest you think his camel wears goggles -no my friend does not seem to have long ears --regards -greg
