Late Medieval Onion Top Kettle Hat with Eye-Slits, 1.6 mm Steel

Late Medieval Kettle Hat with Onion-Shaped Bowl and Eye-Slits, 1.6 mm Steel

This late medieval helm is a reconstruction of an onion top kettle hat or war hat, and is crafted from approx. 1.6 mm thick steel. Each eye-slit is approx. 8 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, and the edge of the brim is rolled all around. The interior is blackened for better corrosion resistance and fitted with a riveted suspension liner made of leather. The adjustable leather chin strap closes with a brass buckle.

Suitable for light combat re-enactment, LARP, stage or TV/film, this fully wearable helmet is most fitting for settings of the late Middle Ages and ideal to complete the armour of a European warrior. Of course, it will also make a great addition to any helmet collector’s treasure chamber.
