Salve!
I am very new to this but have a few helmet questions.
1) Is there a way to squish the helmet in on the sides and get it to hold its shape? I have a long oval head and get a real headache. The helmet pivots on my head front to back.
2) Padding it out is another problem. I was going with linen but if I can't fix the shape problem, may have to go with thin leather. Any suggestions other than getting a custom made helmet?
Ave,
