I understand fully!! When I got my Pith helmet the strap was already broken once and someone stitched it back together. doubtful that it was period done. Anyway after examining, I myself broke it in another spot. Then I oiled the strap and inside liner rim thinking I was doing a world of good. Then I stumbled upon this helmet forum and learned a lot! The best thing you can do for your helmets is nothing!! All you can do is make this a learning experience It's not a total loss unless you decide to repair it. The leather is especially thin on Pith Helmets that and being 60+ years old. Sorry for drawing this out I had a lot of coffee this mourning.
