Repaint
Your helmet has seen more than paint can show, and I make sure it keeps telling that story. Every professional helmet repaint is done by hand keeping the spirit of traditional leather craftsmanship alive. This isn’t just helmet restoration work, It’s preserving a symbol of pride that can be passed down for generations.
Impact Cap Removal
Ensuring safe and precise separation without damaging the leather or brass band. Whether you’re restoring a vintage helmet or preparing for a new lid to go in-service, I carefully remove the impact cap to maintain the helmet’s integrity and shape.
TLW Deep Suspension
Suspension installation guaranteeing the proper “low-riding” fit your leather firefighter helmet was originally designed for. Each suspension is professionally handcrafted to ensure lasting comfort, durability, and performance, keeping your traditional firefighter lid true to its heritage.
Under-Brim Paint
Restore the look and longevity of your leather firefighter helmet with my under-brim paint restoration service. I apply a paint separate from the main color that not only protects the leather but also preserves the authentic vintage style your service lid was meant to have. Each under-brim is carefully refinished.
Brim Bend
Pick from a variety of traditional styles — the Boston Bend, Bronx Bend, Squad Flip, or Harrisburg Flip — each shaped to match your personal preference and department tradition. Every bend is done with precision to maintain the helmet’s authentic firefighter style, ensuring it looks as good as it performs.
Brim Repair
From small touch-ups to major helmet repairs, I can fix any exposed wire or chipped leather on your leather firefighter helmet. Damaged or warped wire is carefully cut, re-welded, and reinforced with a high-heat bonding process to ensure the repair is durable and built to last. Every restoration is done by hand to preserve the helmet’s integrity, safety, and traditional craftsmanship.
Retro Brass Install
Every piece of brass is hand-cut and custom-fitted to match your leather firefighter helmet, then secured with hollow rivets for lasting strength and true traditional craftsmanship. Each detail reflects the care and precision that defines quality firefighter helmet restoration.
