Default cool leather helmet

I live in a non mandatory helmet state but I just might buy this from this guy just to have. Looks like it would be nice and warm on colder rides plus it looks so friggin cool.

I have something similar that my dad wore in the early 1950s. It is sheep fleece (fur?) lined and the label says it is a aviator helmet. It is too small for me but I am going to hang on to it cause it was my dads.

hmmm... makes me want to find the baby-blue helmet I wore as a small child in the early 60s. I'm pretty sure it's in my parents garage someplace.

There's a pretty good chance it's not DOT approved. But who cares right?
