Elevate your reenactment game with our Burgundian Kettle Helmet, crafted for comfort and visibility. Perfect for any medieval event.
If you’re in search of the perfect helmet that seamlessly integrates into your infantry and heavily armored fighter ensemble, look no further than our Burgundian Kettle Helmet. This exceptional piece is renowned as one of our best-reconstructed helmets, stemming from a design inspired by an original Burgundian Kettle helmet dating back to the second half of the 15th century. Its authentic representation currently resides in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serving as a testament to its historical significance.
What makes this helmet a favorite among reenactors participating in late medieval events? It’s not just the strikingly accurate design that captures attention; it’s the unparalleled visibility it offers on the battlefield. Fighters who wear this helmet can expect uncompromised sightlines and breathability, making it a preferred choice in reenactment and LARP scenarios. Moreover, the iconic shape of the kettle hat was historically favored by both infantry and light cavalry, with knights occasionally donning similar designs—allowing you to embody the spirit of the late 15th century in your next historical event.
Crafted from 16 gauge mild steel with a polished finish, the quality of this helmet is immediately apparent. It measures approximately 23.5 cm in height, with an inner depth from front to back at eye level of about 24 cm, and an inner width at ear level of roughly 21 cm. Designed with flexibility in mind, it features an inner circumference of 68 cm (before leather liner attachment), catering to head sizes from 58 cm to 61-62 cm. This adaptability means that most head shapes will find a comfortable fit; however, if you’re planning to wear an additional padded cap, we recommend measuring your head circumference while wearing it to ensure the ideal sizing.
Equipped with an adjustable genuine leather liner, already attached inside the helmet, this piece accommodates most adult male heads with ease. A robust chin strap with a brass buckle closure guarantees that your helmet stays firmly in place, no matter how intense the action gets. Weighing approximately 2 kg 60 grams, the helmet strikes a balance between durability and comfort, allowing for extended wear during rigorous activities.
To ensure this masterpiece arrives in perfect condition, we take special care by coating it with a layer of oil during packaging. This protective layer guards against corrosion and rust, easily removable with any oil remover or a simple dry cloth, ensuring that your helmet maintains its splendour and longevity.
When you choose our Burgundian Kettle Helmet, you’re not just purchasing headgear; you’re acquiring a piece of history that enhances your reenactment experience while providing both authenticity and functionality. Add this exquisite helmet to your collection today and step onto the battlefield with confidence!
