Of the many vast ways MkIII/IV/V helmets where scrimmed, from what i have seen, one of the more common methods was to wrap a square of hessian round then shell, and then put a helmet net over that.
However from viewing many of these, i have noticed that some which are scrimmed like this tend to have what looks like a shoe lase string warped around the net. Can someone explain why this was done? Was it for aesthetics? or did it serve some practical purpose?
