We are all patiently waiting. It is by far the most versatile and comfortable helmet made. AND I'VE HAD THEM ALL!!!!!!!

Early 90s was when my fathers FD first allowed leathers. As a kid, I thought they were so amazing. Now working for the same FD, we are required to have N6A within 10 years, so my 3rd leather is on the way with the goal of keeping it 90s style. Great videos, keep it up!

Great video! I'm anxious for the next video, especially the video on the N6A. I'm curious if the crown look on a new N6A can be remolded to look more like the cuts from the 90's. I understand that the material cannot be removed, but can the whole helmet be heated up and reshaped to correct the terrible look of the crown? This is not something I would attempt, I would send in the helmet for retro brass and a reshape.

That'll be hard to do but if you need to heat it up then water as hot as you can get it out of your faucet should do.

4/29/92 is my best guess when they switched. I owned a tan and a black cap both manufactured the same day.

Hey what’s your process of flattening these brims, I’ve heard all the lines in the book from heating it up in an over, to hitting hit with a torch or steam, and letting the brim soak in hot water and slowly bend each time. What do you recommend ? Awesome video as well

Use steaming hot water from your faucet to heat up the brim and slowly reshape it. Set in place with cold water.

will you be covering cairns 1010, 1044, 880? or just tradicional leather?

No plans at this time - Im no fan of the 1000 series but there has been a few revisions over the years. Same with the 880 - but without actually collecting them and compiling catalogs, its hard to explain anything in detail.
