Product description

This bevor is based on an original from 1480–1500 and is crafted in the Gothic style, which was very popular in Central Europe. Bevors like this were worn across Europe between 1450 and 1500.

Bevors of this type emerged in the second half of the 15th century. They protected the vulnerable neck and were usually worn in combination with a sallet, kettle hat, or, in the early 16th century, a burgonet. The sallet–bevor combination is the most common, and both pieces can be worn in various ways:

Sallet half on the head – provides an optimal field of vision.
Sallet half on the head with bevor closed – offers an optimal field of vision with extra facial protection.
Sallet flat on the head with visor open – ensures maximum visibility and is convenient for giving commands in battle.
Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – provides slightly more visibility than with a fully closed visor.
Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – offers maximum protection for the head and face.

This bevor can be fastened at the back with a leather strap. At the bottom, it has two holes for lacing it securely to a gambeson or hauberk.
