The barbute (barbuta in Italian) was a helmet that was popular in Italy during the 15th century but less so throughout the rest of Europe. Our barbute is a replica of one on display in the Musee' de Armee, Paris. It probably dates from between 1460 -1470 and was made in the Lombard town of Missaglia.

Our barbute is hand crafted from 16 gauge steel and features an adjustable leather liner and buckled leather chin strap.

The large amount of artistic representation and original pieces indicate that even with a slight German predominancy, this was a common choice of helmet throughout Europe.

This helmet is of the type known as an archer's helm. This shape was commonly seen during the Wars of the Roses in England from 1455 to 1485. The rounded top and flared neck guard provided protection from missiles coming from above, while the wide face opening allowed for the unimpeded vision necessary for an accurate aim. This premium helmet features an attached liner and chin-strap in natural leather. Reproduced in steel, it is fully wearable by most adults.
