Product description

The sallet is based on a 15th-century original crafted in the German style. Sallets of this type emerged between 1450 and 1460 and were worn throughout Europe, with particular popularity in Germany, even amongst the aristocracy. The visor of this sallet is fashioned in the late Gothic style, and the neckpiece consists of multiple lames to permit greater freedom of movement.

The German sallet may have resulted from a combination of influences drawn from the Italian sallet and German kettle hats with wide brims and visors, which were utilised in the first half of the 15th century. This sallet has been made in the German style. Sallets of this kind were mainly worn in combination with a bevor, but sometimes with a gorget or without additional neck protection.

The sallet may be worn in five different ways, with or without a bevor:

  1. Sallet worn halfway over the head – provides an optimal field of vision.

  2. Sallet halfway over the head with bevor closed – offers an optimal field of vision with extra facial protection.

  3. Sallet flat on the head with visor open – permits optimal visibility and is well-suited to giving commands in battle.

  4. Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – provides slightly more visibility than with a fully closed visor.

  5. Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – offers maximum protection for the head and face.
