I'm convinced that it was custom-made. Real flight helmets have several various snaps and straps on them. The ESB cap has only straps that are to be tied in a knot underneath the actor's chin, which is something that you won't see on real-world pilot's gear.I'm wondering which flight caps the pilots wore under the helmet as you can see here - View attachment 807862
If anyone knows the name of it, it would be useful as i'd like to hunt down an original or make my own.
So here’s a question. Some of the links here are older and don’t work.
Who makes the best flight suits, vest and chest boxes now? For ANH, not the new stuff. Because it looks like a lot of the old males are out of business. And I’m looking for screen accurate not idealized. Any help would be appreciated!!

http://www.imperialboots.com/product/pilotx/Awesome, thank you. But I have a helmet already. I need what we call soft parts? Flight suit, vest, gloves? I see the plastic but nothing else. Does anyone know who makes a screen accurate set of soft parts?

Well... I've done it now. And i refuse to stop digging...
Just ordered my helmet kit from @Darthair ... Can I leave work to go sit on my front porch and wait for my new package?
Way too excited. I guess now I can start modeling the buck for the chest box. I just wanna make that myself. And it gives me an excuse to build a vac-u-forming table...
Give him time. He will reply. He builds alot and con season is just around the corner. Worth the wait
a couple of weeks if I remember correctly. Con season is king for him. That's where he gets really busy. Yes his videos are fantastic.Kevin didn’t you assemble one of his kits?! He’s got some really good videos on YouTube explaining everything
Do you remember roughly how long it took to get after purchasing it from Etsy?

Yes I did place it through his Etsy. I hope everything's alright on his side of the globe, Maybe hes just making a lotta product? Solo is coming out in what? Two? Three weeks? I'm going to default to he's just busy before I get too worked up.Did you order from his Etsy store? My friend has been trying to get ahold of him all week and hasn’t heard anything back. He too wants to place a order

Kevin is right, I didn’t think about it but it’s con season and he’s probably backed up and super busy
I’m pushing my buddy to just order now and get in line, instead of waiting to hear and then purchasing and being at the end of the line

don't worry about him. He's good to his word. This is a busy time of the year for him. You won't be disappointed I have 1 full kit and bought 2 lids to make a tie fighter and ATAT pilot. He also sold some prototype parts for his tie kit he has been working on. Great guy.The listing says "Ready to ship in 3–5 weeks." so I'm going to START getting worried if it's not here by the end of June. We'll see how it goes...
Anyhoo. Gotta do some more research on the Chest Box, (no I haven't finished this thread yet...) I know he sells one, but I know I can make that "right-enough" compared to the rams horns. I have a feeling that's where I'd roast the helmet alive.
