just made this, not sure i like it. not sure i will use it.what do you think?
The helmet looks a bit big on you.....
funny enough its tight on james, slightly loose on me 
It's not far off... It's pretty good I reckon.
I'll have to compare it with pics I have of proper ones and the WPG repro I have.
i think there should be another foliage loop on the top, but i am not sure...... but i still dont like it.
Yes...
Scroll down a bit on here and you'll see an original.

I think the main problem is that the hessian you have isn't fine enough.
not surprised. it used to belong to network rail................ 
A hessian cover with additional "brush loops" is fitted over the Mk II helmet (manufactured from 1938) to camouflage it and prevent reflections. Such covers, echoing practice during the Great War were unofficial but were made up by certain units during the battle of France; one original example is known with a painted hessian divisional flash sewn on.
Since they weren't an issued item I would have thought they would be made from any sacking material to hand - be it sandbags or potato sacks...
cool. i will keep it then. saves me painting the shell.
Yep we're working on a similar thing. One done so far.
As CW says they were made at unit level.
There isnt a 'correct' way.
Nige I think thats perfect mate, i will see if my lady can make me one up like that too!

Brits with helmet covers?! That's just not cricket!
