found this though dunno if itll work though, http://steel-mastery.com/index.php?&model=product_detail&category_id=39&parent_id=17&product_id=107
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I'd imagine that it would work. There are many ways to do liners for the helms. I usually cheat and just use some foam padding in the helm itself.
But I'm tempted to pick up that set too. One of the things I've been wanting to do is make or buy a shoulder-mantle like that, so I can pad my shoulders a little. The collar helps keep the mail off your neck, and the aketons back in the day had a similar collar (this predates wearing a gorget).
I need to see how shipping to the US works there.
Sir Wolf:
hmmm i dunno, doesnt seem very historical to me. i would think you would want to make a liner and rivet it into place. but if that open is out than hmmm
Sir Brian has this helmet you posted, and i think if you look back in the armoury section you can find out how he did his liner.

Sir Patrick:
Here's the tutorial I used to make mine (and I believe Sir Brian used it as well). Easy to make even for knights with limited sewing skills ;)
