I had always had a problem with FJ helmets fitting my head because my head was too narrow and the front of my head pushed into the front of the liner resulting in a big headache at each event .
Don Calder does FJ liners and he redid 3 of mine in under two weeks and even contacted me twice to ensure that he worked the liners correctly to my head to ensure that"I was a happy customer. I got the liners and I was very happy. He even added his own leather that was streached correctly and his own padding . His service and work was absolutely incredible.
This was not the first time I had purchased items from Don. I also purchased one of his early war bandoleers and gloves and both are pieces of art. The amount of research he does into his products is shown by his fine work product and his prices are very reasonable. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for those hard to find FJ items. He is not only a top notch vendor but a very knowledgable resource on FJ History and equipment.
He can be reached at his Email at fjfabrik@yahoo.com

Re: FJ Items at Don Calder's fj Fabrik
I'll back that Tim. I have one of Don's gas mask bags and his service there was top notch. The kit is superb- so much better than the oppostion. Next for me is to score a bandolier from Don.
I bought the gm bag directly from him and thus saved myself from paying double the price on his eBay listings when the eBay muppets get on and bid his items up!
Tip for smart cookies- deal direct with the man on the link Tim supplied- don't get caught bidding with those other idiots on eBay A US$65 gm bag went recenty for over US$125 on eBay!!!!!
It might be good for Don and full points to him for listing there, but you can do yourself a favour and pay the correct prices!!!!!!!!!
