Does anyone know of suppliers (preferably in Europe) who make bicycle helmets that look like they are from the 1930-1940 era?
Bicycle helmet looking ones OR 'disguised' bicycle helmets.

These are ones from LaCoste. Ver sharp, and a perfect item for your next Tweed Ride.

These helmets are amazing and perfect--just what I need for the summer! Thanks so much!
(My winter helmet is not nearly as stylish or authentic--but it's just as distinctive)
I'm looking at adapting a Russian Tankers leather helmet.
Hot ginger and dynamite, There's nothing but that at night,
Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy and the
women wicky-wacky Woo.
The old leather 'sausage' track hats could be good, it may be possible to wear one under a generous 8 panel 'big apple' type hat?
To be honest I never wear one as they are only really tested to falling off sideways around 14mph...I tend to travel a bit faster than that and I am sure doing 52mph down a Derbyshire hillside that it would do much at all?...personal choice I guess, having said that I always wore one when out with the kids and always made them wear one...curiously I do wear one when out on the MTB as I reason I am more likely to come off and thinking about it every time I have come off bar one it has always been off road.
If someone did make a nice looking retro helmet then I might wear it? but not the monstriosity (imho) pictured above.
How about a jockey helmet? They're lightweight and comfortable.
