Medieval Kettle Hat Helmet

The Medieval Kettle Hat, also known as the War Hat, is one of the most iconic and widely used helmets of the Middle Ages, dating from the 10th to the 14th century. Worn by infantry, city militias, and cavalry, it provided excellent protection against downward strikes, making it especially effective during sieges and battlefield combat.

This faithful historical reproduction is entirely handcrafted in Italy by skilled master armorers who preserve the centuries-old tradition of Italian armor making. Each helmet is individually forged and finished by hand with exceptional attention to detail, resulting in a durable, functional, and truly unique piece.

The helmet is fully wearable and can be customized in both size and steel thickness, making it ideal for historical reenactment, HEMA, LARP, collectors, and museum displays.

The interior features an adjustable leather suspension liner for maximum comfort and stability, while the leather chin strap with brass buckle ensures a secure and practical fit.
