Restored M1 Helmet Liner – Vietnam War Parachutist Characteristics
Discover our restored M1 helmet liner featuring Vietnam War Parachutist characteristics — an ideal complement to your 1960s-era rear-seam swivel-bail helmet.
These liners incorporate all the correct details for the period, including olive drab shade 7 webbing, black-painted steel washers, brass rivets, OD7 yokes, DOT snaps, a cotton chin cup, and black slide buckles for the neckband. By 1963, the leather chinstrap had been discontinued, and these liners accurately reflect that change.
When placing your order, choose between the Basic or Complete option:
-
Basic: Includes the 3-point neckband only (no headband or chin cup)
-
Complete: Includes the headband, chin cup, and 3-point neckband — ready for immediate use
Each liner is built upon receiving your order. Please allow up to 14 days for completion. We proudly ship worldwide through Shopify’s Managed Markets, ensuring accurate international shipping, taxes, and customs documentation at checkout.

Helmet Liner – FAQs
Can I choose liner manufacturer?
Unfortunately, no. While we’d love to offer that level of customization, maintaining inventory from every manufacturer is not feasible. Each restored liner is assembled using available stock that meets our quality standards.
Are all your liners from the Vietnam War era?
Yes. We use original high-pressure liners manufactured between 1964 and 1967, making them fully compatible and visually accurate for early- to mid-war Vietnam-era helmet setups once restored.
Do you use U.S.-style liners made by other countries?
Absolutely not. These are built only with authentic U.S.-made liners. We do not substitute foreign-made components under any circumstances.
What is the condition of your liner stock?
We take great pride in selecting solid candidates for restoration. While minor cosmetic issues such as rim nicks, hairline cracks, or small punctures may be present due to age and service use, anything structurally unsound is immediately rejected.
