Description
The Thin Red Line Fire Helmet Shield is a custom leather firefighter helmet front for those who want to honor the brotherhood and their country every time they gear up. The center features a bold thin red line American flag design that is laser engraved and hand painted for a permanent finish that won't fade or peel.
I handcraft each Thin Red Line firefighter helmet shield from two pieces of premium vegetable-tanned leather. The flag design is built into the leather, not a sticker or decal. Every other detail is fully customizable: your department name, rank, badge number, station, and name.

A Shield That Means Something
This is one of the shields I'm most proud of building. It looks sharp and it carries meaning. The Thin Red Line fire helmet shield is popular for active duty firefighters, memorial displays, shadow boxes, and as a firefighter retirement gift that honors both service and country.
Contact me if you have ideas for a custom layout, want crossed axes added, or need a custom logo integrated into the flag design.
