What brand of leather helmet do you run? Mine is an '02 Cairns Sam Houston N6A. I actually bought it off eBay for $270. Got it and looked it up, the helmet is a deluxe version..its sells for about $500 or so brand new. Not a bad deal..
I have been on the job for 10 plus years and I have had the same Carins Sam Houston leather helmet the entire time. It has been through some good fires and when I get promoted I am planning on sending it in to Carins and having them repaint it red so I can continue using it with the next stage of my career.
Kevin,
Try this guy. He is a brother firefighter. I had one done a few years back. Great work and decent pricing. Cheaper then Cairns. www.smokeshowing.net
Just got my third leather, a New Yorker. Have had a Phenix and did not like the fit. Sold a Sam Houston to by the new New Yorker and holding on to my other New Yorker.......for now!
