Olmutz nose helmet with chain mail collar, 2.5 mm

Add 3,5 cm to your head circumference if you wear an arming cap under your helmet. Do you wear a chainmail coif under your helmet? Add 2,5 cm to your head circumference. When you wear gambeson and chainmail coif under your helmet, you should add 6 cm to your head circumference.

To keep your mail components or plate armor properly in place, it is best to attach leather laces to your gambeson and fasten them to the armor/mail. The armor will then stay better in place during fighting.

Tip: how to adjust the finish of plate armor and weapons yourself

Luxury (polished) – polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even polish an item to a mirror finish with this. Test on a small area first!

Hand-made (matte) – place the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Regularly check the matte effect. Smooth the finish with black sandpaper.

Antique (patinated) – place the steel in a damp environment (preferably outside) and let it rust. Remove the red layer of rust, leaving the corroded surface layer.

Note. After self-finishing the product, warranty and return rights are void. Celtic WebMerchant is not liable for the effects of the aforementioned methods.

A helmet is considered battle-ready with a steel thickness of at least 2 mm. The helmet is fastened under the chin with a strap equipped with a buckle. Sufficient padding must always be worn under the helmet, in the form of a quilted textile inlay or a arming cap. A leather 'parachute' inlay offers insufficient protection and is not considered suitable padding if no further padding is worn.
