Modern flying helmets have a flap that snaps onto the headset band (after you take the pad off). No sewing required. You could use Velcro to make a flap, too. Only problem with these things (like leather jackets) is that people think they are an affectation. The fact is, both evolved into open-cockpit flying garb for very practical reasons! Greg
