Kettle Helmets

Looking for a helmet that suits your infantry and heavily armoured fighter outfit both at the same time? Our HISTORICALLY ACCURATE Burgundian Kettle helmet is perhaps the ultimate fit! This legendary helm is one of our BEST-RECONSTRUCTED HELMETS directly inspired by an original Burgundian Kettle helmet, dated from the second half of the 15th century, currently exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

This historically accurate helmet is loved by reenactors for late medieval events and appreciated by all fighters who value its visibility on the battlefield. It will never impede the vision or breathing, making it one of the most popular helmets on reenactment battlefields and in LARP events. Keeping that in mind, we have made an effort to replicate the distinct shape of the kettle hat that was worn by both infantry and light cavalry in the late 15th century, and even by knights on occasion.

Our reproduction is HANDMADE from 16-gauge mild steel, lined with a comfortable and secure leather liner. A sturdy chin strap with a brass buckle closure keeps the helmet secure during battle.

Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
