Product description

Morions like this one originated around the beginning of the 16th century, evolving from the Spanish kettle hat. This type of helmet dominated European battlefields until the early 17th century. It offered good protection, was easy to produce, and didn't obstruct the wearer's field of vision. This style is well known as the helmet worn by Spanish explorers across North, Central, and South America. British armies of the Tudor and Stuart dynasties used it frequently as well. Popular among both musketeers and pikemen, soldiers sometimes wore it alongside a breastplate or buff coat.

The style draws clear influence from the all'antica armor tradition, which took strong inspiration from the arms and armor of classical antiquity. This style emerged in Italy during the first half of the 16th century, when interest in ancient texts and artifacts was running high. The steel crest mirrors the crests of Roman legionary helmets, letting the wearer connect with that storied past.

The morion slopes upward for an optimal field of vision. It includes a leather chin strap and fits head circumferences up to 61 cm.
