14e eeuwse ketelhoed, 1-1.2 mm Arm & schouderpantser It is made for LARPIn the early 14th century, kettle hats like this one with sloping brims emerged. Advances in metalworking made it cheaper to produce kettle hats from a single piece. The brim of the kettle hat became more sloped, allowing it to deflect projectiles from above.
