Nice!  Thought you'd done it- do you have any pics with the flap open so we can see the inner side?

Nathan, that ventail looks really good. I'm planning to do a similar thing for an Allthebeststuff 8mm coif of rather good quality in the near future. I've already cut down the part that rests on the body significantly so it's much easier to put on.
