Leather Coverd Helm?

[Torayoshi]

Hiyas I was wondering if anyone had an example of a period leather coverd helm. Master Effingham and I had talked about this some years back and I'm kind of ashamed to say I'm finaly geting around to make a new suit of armour. To go with that new armour I have Bought a new helm for Talon Armoury a nice looking helm if a bit big. ( wide shikoro) at any rate I was planing on covering it as I did my last shikoro. however I thought I would check and see if anyone had any imput as it is likly I won't get of my lazy ronin butt to finish the suit befor Pennsic.

This helm is made entirely of leather:


I pretty sure that is an Edo thing, though. Not period.

Astualy i was thinking some thing more along the lines of Master Effinghams "all dangly bits should match" rule.
