Red House Helmet Shields is the home of the "DarKC Knight," along with other traditional hand-crafted leather shields.
It was founded by firefighter Bryan Purtle in the spring of 2010. Red House Shields is committed to producing quality traditional-style leather helmet shields, promoting company and department pride for firefighters in Kansas City and abroad.
The Kansas City Traditional Front is a hand-crafted leather shield that includes colors in its design. These can be "flared-out" (as shown in the photo) or a standard cut, and the shield itself can be dyed either black, white, or brown. These are available for $175-$250 plus shipping and handling.
The Custom Hand-Tooled Shield is just what its name suggests- a thick shield with custom design, hand-tooled art, and sometimes additional stamping. They can be dyed brown or all-black, and painted if the design is conducive to color. Prices range from $195-$350 depending on the complexity of the design.
