What is a No Wear Bar and can I buy a helmet without it?
This is the NCAA, your government and insurance companies protecting you from yourself. Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Sadly they don’t trust you and your behavior.. OK now at least we feel better getting that off of our chest.
The manufacture is “required” to put in a thin metal bar inside the top of the helmet. So are all the other licensed manufactures. The nice thing about our helmets is we use the older antique riveting system and the NWB bar goes up high and is not visible unless looking for it. Other manufactures have to put this big metal bar from ear hole to ear hole.
Can the No Wear Bar be removed?
We can not tell you to take it out but with over 50,000 helmets sold, we can only imagine what men can do.
Do you sell mini helmets?
No we do not carry anything related to the mini helmet market. If one day the mini helmet market includes suspension era parts we very well may. Keep looking back.
Do you carry any mini helmet decals or accessories?
No we do not carry anything related to the mini helmet market. If one day the mini helmet market includes suspension era parts we very well may. Keep looking back.
How long does it take to process an order.
We stock most items so very often an order is processed the same day. Unless the order is of a large quantity, 1-2 business days is the standard.
Will I be able to track my order
Once your order has been completed and shipped, you will receive a follow up email displaying the tracking number and a link to the tracking venue.
What is the size of the helmet?
Be aware that for the most part, helmet shells were of one size and it was just the internal suspension that changed. Our shells are 100% the exact same size as the normal adult shell of the suspension era. Helmets of those days were much much smaller than today’s huge buckets they wear. These helmets have been worn in Movies, Super Bowl commercials, TV commercials and print ads. Of course all with special wavers.

Can I order different sizes or custom sizes?
If we made helmet suspensions different sizes it would encourage people to wear. All 12 point suspension are marked with a standard 7 3/8″ size. On occasion we will stamp another size in the suspension for a customer. This is for cosmetic purposes only.
Do you carry any NFL Helmets or Decals?
We do not carry licensed team decals of any league. Never would they be sold to the public. Sadly the actions of a few have hurt the good intentions of many
Can you tell me the correct color and correct striping of any NFL Team Helmet?
We do not help in the building of any Unlicensed team’s helmet

Can you tell me how to restore my helmet?
Well, we stopped giving reconditioning information due to communication break downs and customers damaging the plastic. It is not that we don’t want to help we just know the damage that can happen when doing incorrectly.
