I was in the same boat you are in about a year ago. I bought a helmet from someone on here. The helmet itself was great! But my head was way too big for it. (A size 8 fitted ball cap leaves a red mark across my forehead). So the only option that would fit was a Rubies. I had to paint it and replace ...

The Rubie's helmet worked for me because it was the only one that fit my massive head. (It's like an orange on a toothpick). I got that first and then matched my fabric to it. The Rubie's will need the visor swapped out but that isn't difficult.

My seamstress needs to know by tomorrow morning. It's a discontinued fabric that she needs to get tomorrow morning or it'll be gone. One approved TR in my garrison said that it was acceptable but I wanted to get as much feedback as I could before tomorrow morning's deadline before I told her to go ...
