Experience authentic medieval protection with our Kettle Hat Infantry Helmet. Handmade from durable 16-gauge steel, it guarantees comfort during reenactments.
Immerse yourself in the rich history of the 13th-14th century with our meticulously crafted Kettle Hat Infantry Helmet. This stunning reproduction is handmade from 16-gauge mild steel, ensuring both durability and authenticity for those who enjoy historical reenactments, cosplay, or simply collecting historical artifacts. Designed with a leather liner that hugs beautifully around your head, this helmet guarantees not only safety but also comfort during prolonged wear.
With a generous circumference of approximately 68 cm (without the liner), this helmet is designed to accommodate nearly all head sizes—making it an excellent choice for any enthusiast. The liner reduces this circumference to 65 cm, providing an additional layer of comfort and support. Keeping the helmet firmly in place, the sturdy chin strap equipped with a brass buckle closure ensures that you are protected from the unexpected turns and challenges of reenactment battles.
Standing at about 18 cm tall with a base measuring approximately 33×32 cm, this helmet balances form and function perfectly. Weighing in at around 2 kg and 360 grams, you’ll find that it strikes a superior balance between protection and mobility, allowing you to move freely—whether you’re wielding a sword, reenacting historical scenes, or participating in immersive LARP experiences.
But why stop at just protection? The kettle hat, also known as the Chapel de Fer, has historically been favored by footmen, crossbowmen, spearmen, billmen, and vougiers due to its versatile design. This helmet provides a shield against projectiles while also allowing you to keep your peripheral vision—perfect for the battlefield or theatrical performance. Imagine donning this iconic headgear paired with one of our chainmail coifs; it creates the ultimate combination of protection and style, helping you look the part without sacrificing your performance.
Additionally, please note that upon arrival, your kettle hat helmet will be coated with a temporary layer of oil. This vital protective measure guards against corrosion (rust). This layer can be easily wiped away using any oil remover or simply a dry cloth, ensuring your helmet shines authentically and is ready for display or action whenever you are.
In an era where every detail matters, owning the 13th-14th Century Kettle Hat Infantry Helmet isn’t just about having a piece of gear—it’s about possessing a piece of history that will enhance your experience, whether on the field or simply as a remarkable conversation starter in your collection.

From the moment I unboxed the 13th-14th Century Kettle Hat Infantry Helmet, I was impressed by its craftsmanship. During a recent historical reenactment festival, I donned the helmet, and it performed splendidly. The 16-gauge steel felt robust yet surprisingly lightweight, allowing me to stay agile while fencing with my friends. The leather liner was a dream—comfortable enough for hours of wear without any irritation. What really stood out was how well it held up against some unexpected light rain. While others struggled with water damage, my helmet emerged unscathed, thanks to the protective oil coating it arrived with. The chin strap kept it securely in place during mock battles, and I loved how it didn’t obstruct my peripheral vision.

The Kettle Hat Infantry Helmet exceeded my expectations in both quality and comfort. When it arrived, I was immediately impressed by the craftsmanship. The 16-gauge mild steel feels incredibly sturdy, and the leather liner is an excellent touch that hugs my head comfortably. I wore it during a historical reenactment event, and it held up brilliantly, providing protection while allowing for decent mobility. The fit was surprisingly accurate; I have a larger head, and at first, I was worried it might be too snug, but it adjusted perfectly thanks to the snug liner. The chin strap was also very secure, which allowed me to focus on the activity without constantly fiddling with it. Although it weighs a bit over 2 kg, I found it to be well-balanced, making it easier to move around without feeling cumbersome. The only minor issue was the temporary oil coating for corrosion protection—it took a few minutes to clean off entirely, but it was worth it to see the authentic shine. Overall, this helmet not only looks great but adds an extra layer of authenticity to any reenactment. It’s a fantastic piece for any enthusiast looking to enhance their gear. Highly recommended!
