Different types of
helms would evolve, as mobility, line of sight
and breathing became a necessity, while still
having effective protection for the head. Some
would be quite cumbersome, such as the great helm.
Some would be less so, and as such not as protective,
such as some of the Viking and Celtic types.
We've put together some leather helms which resemble
some historic finds. In most cases we are crafting these
from 13/15 armour grade leather and further hardening
them with traditional medieval cuirbouille methods. They
may not passs SCA specifications, but they are as close
as a leather helm can come.

Open Faced Sallet
|
  
|
The "Open faced"
or "Archer's" Sallet was common amongst
infantrymen and archers in the early 15th
Century and up until the late 15th Century.
The unobstructed view for the archer of
crossbowman was essential for a clear line of
sight. Our recreation in leather is crafted
from 13/15 oz leather using our 4 step
traditional cuirbouille method of hardening.
Although not allowed by SCA specifications, we
guarantee that this is about as close as a
leather helm can come, and the only one we
know of available in leather. Includes
adjustable leather liner and chin strap.
Available in brown or
black.

Great Bascinet
|
|
|
The Great bascinet was the first helm to be worn with
complete suits of plate armor, and could be
found on the battlefields all over Europe.
The Great Bascinet was used in battle up until
the last quarter of the Hundred Years War 1337
- 1453 between England and France. They are a
development from the earlier pig faced or
hound skull bascinets which were shorter, with
mail aventail protection for the throat and
neck. Our Great Bascinet crafted in 13/15 oz
cuirbouille leather replicates the steel
version which replaced the mail with plate
armour, and combines the rounded skullcap of
the Klappvisor helm with the rounded nose of
the Great bascinet. The face is protected by a
hinged rounded visor pierced with
numerous holes for sight and ventilation.Wearable
with an ordinary arming cap. Includes chin
strap.
To our knowledge the only heavy leather
bascinet currently in production. Item Name: Great Leather Bascinet
Item Number: SCH5111
Price: $199.00
