• The liner is riveted onto the chinstrap.
• The metal chinstrap loops on the metal shell are solid rivets the British made ones have split rivets.
• The liner headband is made from leather which has pieces of rubber tubing inside.
• The inside is covered by a black oilcloth which what your head touches.
