Adapting ex-mil soft helmet for GA use

This is a typical advert on eBay for an ex-RAF soft helmet.

It happens that I could do with a soft helmet for occasional use. Whilst I can buy a leather one that my headset will go into (and would love), they aren't cheap, and I'd prefer to save a bit of cash.

So, does anybody know if it's reasonably straightforward to adapt one of these things to GA or microlight headset use? Or, would I be digging a hole for myself by trying?

Failing that, does anybody know of a cheap source of leather soft helmets than a headset can fit into?
