WWII British Army MKII Brodie Helmet and Liner Restoration Service

WWII British Army MKII Brodie Helmet and Liner Restoration Service

 

RESTORATION SERVICE ONLY.  YOU MUST SEND US YOUR MKII HELMET SHELL

Complete restoration service for the WWII British Army MKII Brodie Helmet and Liner.  Before ordering simply send us pics of your existing shell and liner. This way we can make sure we are on the same page, as we need to check the chinstrap attachments and liner style.  

Many people confuse the WWI style for WWII, so it's nice to take a little time to reconfirm everything before starting any work.  Once that is done, you can place an order and submit your helmet for work.  You will be sent an address to post at that time.

These liners are fitted, so select your appropriate size when placing an order.  Please see the chart below for reference.  The returned helmet will be restored to a "factory finish" state and comes complete with the following:

  • Lustreless olive drab exterior paint (Air Warden White, Desert Sand and RAAF/Naval Blue also available)
  • Textured or smooth finish
  • Early war MKII webbed chinstrap set (with metal springs)
  • Helmet net
  • UK MK II Helmet liner suspension cradle (new reproduction)
    • Rubber bumpers
    • Upper padded cross
    • Attachment bolt/nut
  • Scrim

If you have any questions before or during the process, feel free to email us directly using the Contact us form on this page.

How to measure yourself for a WWI or WWII uniform

Cap/Hat Size
If your US fitted cap or EU hat size is not known, to determine your hat size, measure the circumference around your head, keeping the tape level and firm, across the temples and above the eyebrow ridges. Measure circumference of head just above top of ears.  Wrap tape gently around head making certain tape lies midway on your occipital bone (that little bump in the middle of the back of your head).  Don't pull the tape too tightly or your hat will fit that tightly.  Measure 2 or 3 times to be accurate.

Chest (Across Nipples)
Measure yourself (LOOSELY) around the fullest part of your chest, with your hands by your side, and your chest expanded.  Keeping the tape measure level.  Have someone else do measuring for you.

Waist (Belly Button)
Measure yourself (LOOSELY) around the natural waistline (that is your belly button).

Inseam (Inside Leg)
Measure yourself from the crotch to where your trousers normally sit on your shoe.

 

Size Chart


Important!

  • You MUST use a cloth/ tailoring measuring tape to size your body before ordering.
  • Please do not use the measurements from other garments when submitting size information.
  • Also, to get the most accurate number, it is best to take measurements while not wearing other layers of clothing.
  • Uniforms have been sized to accommodate for undergarments and the ability to move, especially around shoulders and waist, so we just need your body dimensions.
  • Please know, after you place your order, you will be contacted personally to confirm your measurements and size selections before any payment is processed or item sent to reconfirm body dimensions and desired fit.
  • If your size is not in stock, you will not be billed and contacted immediately before order is processed.
