Customize Your Helmet

Every helmet starts the same way: full-scale American steel, welded and built by hand. From there it's all you. Here's what you can choose from and what it costs.

Pricing

Straightforward, No Surprises.

You don't pay until the helmet is complete and ready to ship.

$975

Base Helmet

Includes your choice of front holder, shield (number and/or text), and a name on the brim. Perfect as is.

$30–60

Additional Custom Images

Price depends on complexity and placement. Locations include the side panels, front/shield, and under the brim.

$20–30

Additional Text / Quotes

Extra engraved text, quotes, dates, or details beyond what the base helmet includes.

Step One

All front holders are the same ones you’d put on your standard leather helmet. If you'd like an option that isn't listed here, just choose "Other" on the order form and tell us what you have in mind.
