World War 2 hats and goggles

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

I would love to buy a world war 2 hat and a pair of goggles. I'm not looking for the real thing, replica is fine. I have no idea on where i could buy them from? Have you seen any web-sites that sell them? I am aware of the 'Downunder Pilot shop'.

Yeh Ivan's are great helmets, I'd be keen to get one but how much do you wanna spend? When flying the Pitts/Tiger I wear a soft leather helmet from Gibson and Barnes, wwwflightsuit.com. The helmet was NZ$100 or so, can't remember off the top of my head. The goggles are authentic 1940s.

cheers,

Maybe keep a watch on Trade me as you can generally find bargins on there.
What are you going to use it for? Wearing them when playing FS to feel like a war pilot? smile.gif
