Step into the rich tapestry of history with our Kettle Hat Helmet, meticulously handcrafted from 16 gauge mild steel. This remarkable piece isn’t just a helmet; it’s a gateway into the past, echoing the battle cries and courageous deeds of foot soldiers and light cavalry in the Holy Roman Empire.
Measuring a commanding 28 cm in height and with a base measuring approximately 28.7×25 cm, this helmet is designed to provide optimal protection and comfort. Featuring strategic eye slits of 7.5 cm long and 0.65 cm wide, it allows for enhanced visibility without compromising safety. The helmet’s inner circumference of 68 cm (prior to the attachment of any padded liner) makes it suitable for most head sizes ranging from 58 cm to 61 cm. Whether you’re a reenactor or a collector, this helmet will fit snugly with precision, even allowing for an additional padded cap if desired.
Every detail of the Kettle Hat Helmet has been thoughtfully crafted for utility and style. Weighing in at 2 kg and 10 grams, it strikes the perfect balance between durability and lightness, making it an ideal companion for those moments on the battlefield—or during a historical reenactment. When you adorn this helmet, you’re not just putting on protective gear, you’re donning a piece of history.
This stunning helmet features an antiqued finish, giving it an authentic look that perfectly evokes the medieval era. Each helmet is carefully coated with a layer of oil to prevent corrosion (rust) during transit—this precaution can easily be wiped away with a simple oil remover or a dry cloth, leaving you with a pristine artifact ready for display or use.
Historically, the kettle hat was highly valued for its mobility combined with excellent defensive capabilities. Imagine yourself beneath the formidable walls of a castle, this kettle hat serving as your steadfast companion, allowing you to fend off aerial assaults while ensuring your vision remains unimpeded. The design is both functional and versatile, reflecting the sophisticated craftsmanship of the era.
The kettle hat is more than just armor; it embodies the spirit of innovation and resilience. Its design has endured through centuries, with roots that trace back to notable works like the BNF Latin 512 Speculum humanae salvationis from 1410, showcasing its evolution over time. While some versions flaunt a wider brim, our kettle Kettle Hat Helmet stands out with its narrower profile, further enhancing its sleek appearance while still providing ample protection.

The Kettle Hat Helmet exceeded my expectations in every way. When it arrived, the craftsmanship was immediately evident; the antiqued finish gives it a truly authentic medieval look. I wore it during a recent reenactment, and it felt remarkably comfortable, fitting snugly without being cumbersome. I followed the sizing recommendations, and it fit perfectly right out of the box. I appreciated the visibility offered by the eye slits, allowing me to see clearly while maintaining safety. Weighing just enough to feel sturdy but not excessively heavy, I could wear it for hours without discomfort. My only tip would be to consider using a padded liner for extended wear, adding an extra layer of comfort. Overall, this helmet is not just a piece of armor but a piece of history. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their medieval ensemble!

The Kettle Hat Helmet exceeded my expectations right from the moment it arrived. As I prepared for the historical reenactment of a medieval battle, I was impressed by its quality and craftsmanship. The 16-gauge steel feels sturdy yet is surprisingly lightweight, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. During the event, it held up beautifully, not losing its shape or sheen despite the rough activity. I could see clearly through the eye slits, which provided great visibility without sacrificing protection.
I did wear a padded cap underneath, which added to the comfort, but I noticed it would fit snugly without it too. At one point, I even took a tumble while charging with a group, and the helmet did its job flawlessly—no dents, no scratches, just a few scuffs that wiped right off. The antique finish gives it that authentic look, making it a beautiful piece for display when not in use.
While I would have loved the interior to have an adjustable liner for a more secure fit, the helmet’s overall performance was impressive, giving me confidence during a heavy reenactment. It truly feels like a piece of history, and I am so glad to have it as part of my collection. I can’t wait for my next event!
