as to what that pile of leather parts was for, well, more of these, for one: http://tormentedartifacts.com/ravenmask.html
@Winneganfake dang, that's absolutely beautiful.
I have a weird question, what about folks with big heads? I struggle with hats because my head's too damn big.
@Eris it'd designed fairly big in the first place. as an XL helmet wearer (I've got a weird skull), though, I usually have no problem with this base design.
More technically speaking, there's about 5.5 inches of curvature from between the eyes to where the mask flattens out to horizontal on the top of the head, and as you can see in the pic, most of that distance is vertical. In short, it works for a very large majority of heads.
@Winneganfake ok dope, once I have the $$$ I'm beyond game for this. It looks utterly amazing.
Thanks, fellow XL helmet wearer! 💙
