The Kettle Hat was favoured by the English infantryman and man at arms throughout the medieval period and was popular during the 100 Years War. It was simple to manufacture and offered good protection against projectiles. This design was so effective that it came back into service with the British military in World War 1 and 2. The name derives from the Germanic word “cetel” or “cietel” alluding to its deep cauldron like shape. It was also known as a “war hat” and “Chapel-de-fer” (hat of iron).

Made of 2mm steel. Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods used in its manufacture. The steel is untreated and may have rust. To protect the steel you may rub it with mineral or synthetic oil.  Leather chin strap included.

Size M: 60-61 cm perimeter

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.

Resembling the classic Greek helmets from an earlier age these helmets were popular throughout Italy and other European countries from the 15th century and offered an alternative to the more restrictive sallet.

The extended sides protected the neck and jaw, dispensing with the need for a separate bevor or gorget. Crafted in 14 gauge steel with an adjustable leather liner and chinstrap.

Our Gothic Sallet is hand crafted from polished steel and features an articulated 'tail' that protects the neck without restricting movement. The visor is also hinged and can be lifted for better vision. The helmet is lined with an adjustable leather spider and features and adjustable leather chin strap.
