Product description

Morions such as this one emerged at the beginning of the 16th century 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 having been worn by Spanish explorers to North, Central, and South America. It was also worn by the British armies of the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. This type 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 is clearly influenced by the all'antica armour style, which emerged in Italy in the first half of the 16th century. During the Renaissance, there was a particular interest in classical antiquity, which influenced the development of plate armour, such as the all'antica style. The stylised steel crest is modelled after the helmet crests of Roman legionaries, permitting the wearer to associate themselves with this glorious past.

The morion features sloping edges, a helmet crest, and a polished finish. The sloping edges provide an optimal field of vision. It is straightforward to wear, owing to a chin strap and adjustable leather liner. The morion is well-suited to a head circumference of up to 61 cm.
