For sale

Classic irvin sheepskin pilots helmet size medium, £50.00 Plus p/p

This item was purchased by my brother 20 plus years ago to use with his caterham, it got put away safe by is wife and by the time she found it he had sold the car.

It was manufactured by leather craft that used to be based at Thruxton aerodrome,

Product Description
Whether you’re flying, driving or riding a trike, this traditionally styled sheepskin lined Irvin pilot’s helmet will defeat the draughts to keep you warm and snug whatever the weather.

Strong and supple brown sheepskin - as used in the production of the Original Irvin Flying Jacket - with a “warm honey” coloured sheep’s wool lining. Built-in guides for the headband of your goggles, a sun visor and an under-chin strap fastening, secured with a metal buckle.

All sheepskin garments with a 'leather look' have a sprayed on finish. This is true of every brand available on the market, and the finish will wear to a suede-like appearance over time. This finish is colourfast under normal circumstances. However, certain solvents on hands or surfaces can slightly damage the dark brown finish in a way that the colour could run. These solvents include: Leather seat treatments, hand creams, perfumes, petrol, oils, etc.

I've had a couple of these since having a TVR Griffith 500. Marvelous, the hat AND the car.
