There's a lot of helmets out on the market today that have fancy graphics painted all over them, or high visibility paint to help be seen from far away, but there aren't a lot of helmets that look like they were made by hand or have nice finishing touches on them. There's nothing wrong with having a factory-painted helmet, but having a little bit of organic material on it can really give it a personality and give homage to some of the helmets from history.
Jafrum makes this Leather-covered Motorcycle Half Helmet to help bring back some of the older styled helmets but without the old moldy foam on the inside. It's safe enough, by meeting DOT specifications, but is one of the lightest half helmets on the market weighing in at just a little over 2 pounds. The EPS liner is only 1 inch thick, which seems pretty thin, but apparently is still safe enough to keep your head together. The D-rings are stainless steel and the DOT sticker on the back has been clear coated so it won't peel up or fall off.
This half shell helmet is available in sizes X-Small up to 2XL, giving a wide range of people it will fit on. The visor is a removable one, and you can purchase a face shield and replace the visor if you prefer.
