New Hunter
Hello all
My name is Nick K Skyler, and I am here to introduce the most accurate helmet chin strap kit ever made. I would like to thankJojoFett95 , Ord Mantell , Deancfh for their support, as well as the many hunters who have paid attention to this project.
First, I met Jo during my Fett journey, and was also attracted by his discovery of Everoak, the source of helmet chin straps. Jo prepared a wonderful article to show these details, including an interview with Bill Vero, grandson of Everitt W Vero, the founder of Everoak, and I believe we will see the article published in the near future.
(The New Factory was situated in Crystal Palace Road at the rear of 33 East Dulwich road. The sewing work was done mainly on the first floor which was reached by an outside staircase. The shells were made at the moulding works at either 49 East Dulwich Road or 88 East Dulwich Grove)

I believe that those who have seen Ord.mantell's Everoak post will definitely think that the vintage chin strap must be destroyed to get the matching prop parts. When I received the Everoak sent by Jo, I was thinking about how to protect this antique. Hats off to you, Jo

Ok, if you want to keep the parts aligned with the screen, you need to cut off some extra parts, and what is certain so far is that I am not the one who picks up the scissors.
I had an idea that it would be good to use an accurate replica instead of an antique, so I quickly Photoshopped this poster like this, which is really exciting.
Then, I started doing a lot of research.
I started looking at the history of EVERITT W VERO & CO LTD. From some photos of the factory in the late 1950s, I determined that the leather sewing was done by hand. Thanks to Bill Vero for sharing these photos. I love these historical moments. There may be many chin strap kits in the truck.

time for an update on the initial chin straps research...
You can finally forget all those helmets, because the real source of the straps has been found and it's not from a helmet.
@Jojofett95 took the prior Everoak research I did to the next level and brought us definitive proof the chin straps for all the Fett helmets were in fact made by Everoak, but not the source I previously identified. He rightly felt something was missing, especially in light of the...
