Product description

By the end of the 14th century, the kettle hat had gradually evolved toward the cabasset. This design offered even better head protection while keeping its characteristic brim. The sloping brim deflects blows and projectiles, preventing the full force of an attack from reaching the helmet and head directly.

This helmet proved so effective that even aristocrats wore it. The brim shields against downward strikes and projectiles, while the open design delivers an excellent field of vision, good hearing, and solid protection. Armies across Europe wore kettle hats like these from the second half of the 15th century — including at the close of the Hundred Years' War between England and France and throughout the era of the Duchy of Burgundy — and they remained popular well into the 16th century.

This helmet is a replica of a 15th-century Burgundian kettle hat now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It comes with a lining and chin strap. If you plan to wear additional padded protection, measure your head circumference while wearing it. The padded lining already fitted inside is usually sufficient. Remove the lining to create more space inside the helmet.
