Description

If there is a cloth or synthetic fabric in your copy of the liner, change it to a good, proper felt!

The gray felt is dense, soft, 1 mm thick. The raw material is natural wool, not synthetic! 4×62 cm strips (enough for 1 liner of any existing size). If you need a longer strip (up to 70 cm), specify this in the order comment.

It is sewn onto the leather, then the leather is attached with metal splints (paws) to the M31 liner and its modifications.

Historical reference.

In German helmet liners for M35, M40 and M42 helmets, felt was used as a soft padding, not cloth! Felt is pressed wool fibers, and broadcloth is a fabric. They look similar in appearance, but the difference in properties is significant.

The color of the felt varied from gray to brown.

The width of the strip is about 4 cm, the photo of the original liner shows that the strip is bent (about 7 mm) and at the same time covers the inner rim of the liner (which itself is 35 mm) almost completely.
