Anyone got a line on custom helmet cover makers?  Looking for a classic woodland cover for a gentex Above the ear cut helmet.

I just had back surgery last week, and I'm not sure if I am retiring from sewing or not.

Gentexes, the shell is cut a bit different from a mil contract SDS/MSA/BAE etc TC-2001 high cut, the TC-2001 the ear flanges are cut off right at the seam whereas the Gentex, it has about 1/2" to 3/4" of the ear flanges left on the helmet.   So a TC2001 may or may not fit the Gentex depending on how much slop is in the design.

Find a GI steel pot cover in woodland and have it trimmed for your Gentex.
This is a Vietnam-era Mitchell cover I modded for a 2002.



This is a woodland for an airsoft 2001 -- it should fit a Gentex:

Is there anyone recommended for a full cut to 2002 or 2001 mod or to make small custom pieces out there? Would like to get a Revision cover cut from full to 2002 and have a Velcro 1.5" diameter tube for comms wires and a hydration tube pass through made. Basically 2 feet of 4" wide material with 1/2" velcro on the long sides. Someone reasonable and without a long wait time?
