Leather Warrior Helmet

Warrior Helm is a Spangenhelm made from thick full-grain leather that protects the head, back of the neck, and the front of the face. Four leather plates are sewn together to form this skull cap, reinforced by heavy leather straps forming a cross across the apex of the skull. To add additional structure, a heavy leather strap is secured around the brim and is attached to an elongated diamond-shaped nose guard that protects the center of the face.

The Warrior Helmet also features a stiff leather neck-guard to protect against waylay attacks, and soft split-leather padding on the inside. Embellished with a wing-like decoration above the eyes, this helmet is designed to match most of Epic Armoury’s other armours and clothing, and with its durable leather stitching it is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather care.

You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.
