- Choose between
our Traditional Sewn, Passport, New Yorker, Heritage Series or Gold Leaf shields.
- Our Heritage
Series shields provide a turn of the century look that will enhance the
appearance of any fire helmet. The are made from 8oz. (1/8" thick)
leather and are hand painted.
- Our Gold Leaf
shields are constructed from an 8oz. back and a 4oz. front sewn together.
The face is real 24k gold leaf with the lettering and graphics printed
onto the durable clear coating.
- Traditional
sewn, Passport, and New Yorker shields are available with smooth,
sunken or raised numbers, leather Maltese Cross and Star of Life sew-ons,
and a wide range of high quality medallions and printed graphics. Don't see what you
want? Let us custom design a shield to fit your needs.
- All of our
shields use only the finest hand-cut leather throughout; 8oz. (1/8" thick)
for the back plate, and 4oz. (1/16" thick) for the face plate, while other
manufacturers may use pressed leather, patent leather, naugahyde, or even
cardboard & plastic fillers, which require a tin brace on the back of the
shield to retain its shape. Every detail of our shields is sewn
completely through front to back using 8 stitches per inch. This
guarantees the shield will retain its shape and appearance.
- All of our
shields are made from 100% leather helmet-grade leather. We are the only
manufacturer that uses the same leather for our shields that is used to
make leather helmets and truckers belts. We do not use garment
leather or plastics in the construction of our shields. This is why
we do not need a tin brace on the back of our shields.
- Our recessed
panels and/or lettering are reflective and are not "stick-on" letters.
This is standard at no charge.
- Every detail of
our shields are stitched together front to back. This makes a more
durable shield and helps to eliminate puckering.
