This simple medieval helmet is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a high quality, authentic yet affordable helmet. This carefully handcrafted kettle hat offers excellent value for money and is an ideal addition to any medieval armour.
The kettle hat or war hat owes its name to its resemblance to a cooking pot (originally called a kettle). This rather plain helmet in the shape of a brimmed hat was especially popular between the 13th and 15th centuries. While it was primarily worn by infantry and not considered a typical knight’s helmet, it was occasionally used by knights under certain conditions, such as extreme heat.
Although kettle hats existed in many variations, they all shared the same main feature: a wide brim. This provided effective protection against downward sword blows and projectiles shot or dropped from above. At the same time, the helmet did not restrict the wearer’s vision, hearing or breathing.
This fully battle-ready reconstruction is made from 2 mm steel and is modelled after late medieval originals from the 14th century. The brim’s edge is rolled all around, and a pronounced central ridge runs along the top from front to back. The interior is blackened to prevent rust and fitted with a high-quality, riveted and adjustable padded liner made from black fabric. The adjustable, pre-punched chin strap made of supple, durable leather allows for a custom fit.
Suitable for combat re-enactment, LARP, stage or TV/film, this fully wearable helmet is most fitting for settings of the Late Middle Ages and is 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.
