Medieval helmet, teapot type, Burgundian, 15th century, 1.6 mm steel. This late medieval helm is a reproduction of a late 15th century Burgundian war hat or teapot hat, modeled after original artifacts (one of which is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York). Its particular appeal lies in its simple yet attractive design and fluted bowl that makes it stand out from the crowd.
The rebuild we offer here is made of 1.6mm (16 gauge) steel and is therefore only suitable to a limited extent for combat reenactment. The blackened interior is fitted with a riveted leather suspension liner and the adjustable 3mm thick leather chin strap fastens with an aged brass buckle.
Suitable for light combat, LARP, stage or TV/film reenactment, this stylish fully wearable helmet will make your transformation into a proud medieval warrior seamless. Of course, it will also make a great addition to any helmet collector's treasure room.
Worn by foot soldiers, archers, crossbowmen, pikemen, and men-at-arms throughout Europe in the Early and Late Middle Ages, this rather simple helmet in the shape of a wide-brimmed hat owes its name to its resemblance to a pot (originally called kettle).
Although kettle hats existed in many variations, they all shared the same main feature: a wide brim that offered good protection, not only against downward sword blows, but also against hails of arrows or other projectiles fired or thrown from up. This highly protective design, which also did not impair the wearer's sight, hearing or breathing, proved useful during sieges and massed infantry battles, and contributed greatly to the enduring popularity of this type of helmet.
