Product description
This helmet is a replica of a 15th century Burgundian kettle hat that is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Helmets like these were worn at the end of the 100 Years' War between England and France and during the Duchy of Burgundy. They were worn everywhere in Europe until the early 16th century. This helmet is equipped with an inlay and chin strap. If you want to wear extra padding, measure your head circumference while wearing it. The padded insert already attached to the inside of the helmet is usually sufficient. To create more space in the helmet, the helmet insert can be removed.
