Old Breed Fire Helmets

07/21/2026

This one is for the other shops/makers, etc.

I won’t be spamming this page with advertisements for this but I’ve been working hard on developing this product. If you do anything that has a lead time and you get questions about where a customer’s item/project or order is in-process, this is for you.

I welcome anyone who supports Old Breed to like or follow, even if it is specifically geared toward other businesses. All likes and follows will help spread the word.

Thanks in advance!

Finally coming together! Long time concept coming to life. One of the major upgrades coming soon, a customer portal where you can register and track your helmet’s progress through the shop and get updates as the project goes along.

This will soon enough be a customizable offering to other shops of all kinds, helmet shops, leatherwork shops, digital graphics, etc. basically anything that requires your labor and any amount of lead time. Give your customers peace of mind and free them from feeling the need to ask questions of “where’s my helmet/product?”

If you’re a shop that’s interested, message with your email. Share with your maker-friends or labor based businesses and have them reach out with interest.

Check out this awesome story of savings. The U.S. fire service is in need of good, live fire training facilities. I’ve been in one of these training buildings, compared to any of the commercially available options that I’ve experienced, this is better.

You can advance right up on the flashover chamber, work on your flow pattern and not immediately extinguish the fuel package. You get to force entry, see thermal layering, see rollover, and do coordinated vertical ventilation (with punchout below) depending on how you spec these out at a cost far below the major manufacturers. I know in this day you have plenty of options, but if Iowa American Rescue isn’t on your radar yet, I hope they will be now. Check them out if you’re in need of a good training facility with live burn capability at a fraction of the cost of some other options.

When we started this process the fire department said they had budgeted nearly a million dollars and had a ten year timeline due to that cost. Here we are for a quarter of their estimated cost, with a timeline that gets them burning 9 years ahead of schedule. Could they have waited to buy a Lamborghini in ten years (for 2 million after inflation)? Absolutely, but there are a lot of fires that will happen between now and then, and they needed an option that will give them some of the most realistic conditions possible at a price they can train firefighters for NOW. The choice was obvious when they asked their trusted training provider roguetraining_consulting_llc who to go with. We are here on their recommendation and look forward to an awesome train the trainer class upon delivery. (Image is a conceptual rendering only)
