Standardized Measuring Guide for Helmets

Post by JesterTDA »

Feel free to use this guide to share your helmet measurements. Please avoid the name of private helmet crafters as we don't want to get anybody shut down. In an ideal world we could try and get a line up of different helmets next to each other so we can see the size differences. But that is in the future. And yes...this is an image from the animated Clone Wars which was release (not sure if they ever made it into the show?) so the shape is slightly off but it's the best I could find.

<edited to add F - temple measurement (external)>

I'll be taking and posting measurements from my Don Post helmet from the '90s, my new Rubies helmet (which makes up for all the dreck they've put out over the years, IMO), and my CT helmet. Armor party this weekend, so perfect setting for such. :)

Does anyone have the dimensions for the Rubies Supreme? Especially the length and width of the neck hole.

Note that this was done with a metal tape measure in inches and translated. I wouldn't call these scientific measurements, but rather real close measurements.

Measurements taken with hard wooden ruler.

My own hat measurement is 57cm, and there is quite a lot of space inside.

(is it OK to write the full name of the vendor, or do we have standard initials for this individual?)
