Leather Helm?

I know I've seen one or two here, but the search function is telling me that leather is too common... and helm is too common... And together they are also too common. I've not quite figured out the quirks of searching evidently.

If anyone knows the posts I'm talking about, or has any experience/pictures of Dagorhir legal helms that are historical looking let me know.
Thanks!

Don't know if he's on these boards, but Forkbeard does amazing leather helms:

I'm thinking Torvaldr made a leather helm or two...

Pretty sure Torvaldr was the one I was thinking about, but that's pretty sweet Iron. Anything else out there?

I have been known to make a few Leather helms.

However i will charge you more than Forkbeard will simply because its more of a pain in the ass for me to make.

If you are looking for a helm in the continental united states, i would go with Forkbeard. Top notch quality, and some very sexy leatherwork coming out of that mans twisted mind.

Thanks.


I used to have links for leather armor and helms back when I was in Dagorhir- but most of them no longer work.

This helm is for sale, if you or anyone you know is interested.

I make leather helms, and have sold a number to Dagorhir fighters. I've made over a hundred leather helms, and you can see my website at "http://leatherhelms.com". Mostly they are historically based spangenhelms, with a few horns thrown in the mix.

If your gonna get one, get one that looks like a real helmet IMO.
I have made a few metal framed spangens with leather fill plates.
Sadly I am not set up to make them anymore but I know there are others out there who are.
