Replicas of a World War II-era US Army steel helmet. These helmet replicas are often used by reenactors and collectors and for costume or display purposes. They are unsuitable for actual protective use, as they are not made to modern safety standards.
The original US Army steel helmets, officially known as the "Helmet, Steel, M1," was first introduced in 1941 and was used by the US military until the mid-1960s. It consisted of a steel shell with a suspension system inside, a cotton chinstrap, and a leather sweatband. The helmet also had a removable liner made of fiber or plastic that could be adjusted for a comfortable fit. The M1 helmet was designed to protect the head from shrapnel and other debris and was widely used by US and Allied forces during World War II and the Korean War.
Note: These are also available in #2 Condition for a discount. Helmets in this condition will show signs of wear, rust, stains, rust, broken straps, etc.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
