Product description

Morions like this one originated around the beginning of the 16th century, evolving from the Spanish kettle hat. This type of helmet would dominate European battlefields until the early 17th century. It offered good protection, was easy to produce, and did not obstruct the wearer's field of vision. This type of morion is well known for being worn by Spanish explorers in North, Central, and South America. It was also frequently used by the British armies of the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. This style of helmet was popular amongst both musketeers and pikemen, and was sometimes worn in combination with a breastplate or buff coat.

The style of this morion was clearly influenced by the all'antica armour style, which drew strong inspiration from the arms and armour of classical antiquity. This style emerged in Italy during the first half of the 16th century, whilst there was great interest in ancient texts and artefacts. The steel crest is shaped after the crests of Roman legionary helmets, permitting the wearer to associate themselves with this glorious past.

The morion slopes upward, providing the wearer with an optimal field of vision. It comes with a leather chin strap and fits a maximum head circumference of up to 61 cm.
