Bartacked: For Restorers The way WWII chinstraps were originally attached to the helmet. Bartacking secures the strap to the chinstrap loop, ensuring a strong and secure attachment. If you're fully restoring a helmet, this version will allow you to slip the straps on during the helmet restoration process. This is the ideal option for those aiming to restore the helmet to its original specifications and achieve the authentic look of barred stitching.
Standard: For Most Applications For those who prefer to sew the chinstrap on themselves during the restoration process, or for a helmet that is simply missing chinstraps. This version gives you flexibility to install the chinstrap according to your specific restoration needs, whether you're restoring an existing helmet or adding chinstraps to a helmet without them.
Perfect for reenactors, collectors, and WWII airborne helmet restorers, this M2 chinstrap reproduction completes an accurate paratrooper restoration.
