really like how you got the mail close fit around the neck, chin, and side of the face. thats a rare detail you dont see in much modern replicas even though it is near ubiquitous in period depictions
Highly appreciate it thanks! :) Prob the most comfortable maille coif/hood I've worn despite being formed directly close on the face very happy with how it turned out, a lot less bunching on the neck or having a mass of maille hanging off the neck/ head weighing you down and lagging behind when you turn to look. Was about a 1-2 week project and mostly recycled a standard replica maille coif rebuilt. Think anyone could do it with some advice and experimenting.
Quite similar yes! Most commonly had nasal helms in this Century only small regional differences like patterns & unique helmets with different face guards.
Hey! Yeah padding isn't thick at all more on the light/medium light side. Under the maille is just a linen tunic mine is just 2 layers of linen but something like thin to light layer of wool tunic is perfect, won't be too constrictive and heat up.
Thanks I appreciate the kind words! For my nasal helmet I bought from an online store called "ForTheGods" on etsy this was back in 2020 I think they shut down. I have seen people get some great decent priced nasal helms from a site called Medieval Armours sourced in Italy and Habibi Armour on FB is another good choice.
@@celtscelticrites3940 What you're thinking about is probably the early Franks in late antiquity. This depiction is High Medieval period Western Europeans referred to generically sometimes as "Franks". Actually the winged helmet or horned helmets don't really appear in history and are created around 1800-1900's in fiction. What early 8th century Frankish soldiers likely wore were early Bandhelms also known as "skullcap" helmets made of several pieces riveted together.
Were they not wearing the tunics over the mail on thlse days? Seems it woyld keep your mail cooler in the sun. But iay be wrong. The last statue of the knight in mail is wearing a tunic.
To be clear, this is a typical foot soldier. A Frankish noble would probably wear scale armor. In fact, those who owned lots of land were required to own armor during Charlemagne's reign.

Thank you! Greatly appreciated!
Very cool. Were knights in Portugal dressed similar?
Quite similar yes! Most commonly had nasal helms in this Century only small regional differences like patterns & unique helmets with different face guards.
Wish I could afford all of that gear. Would love to put together a portrayal of a Portuguese knight.
Nice helmet man! How long did it take you to paint it?
Thanks man! Wasn't too bad to paint but did take some time to let paint dry and continue, so about a week long project.
Beautiful music ❤
Keep posting about your kit, I love it and more people need to see!
Thank you! I greatly appreciate the kind words 🙏
J’adore ❤
You should get a short Surcoat that matches your shield and helmet! Very very cool
Hey! How thick is that padding? Curious since im making my own set myself
Hey! Yeah padding isn't thick at all more on the light/medium light side. Under the maille is just a linen tunic mine is just 2 layers of linen but something like thin to light layer of wool tunic is perfect, won't be too constrictive and heat up.
@@PrimeChevalier Thanks for the reply! I was personally thinking 2 wool tunics and a linen shirt for padding
Music?

Loving the kit! May I ask where did you purchase the nasal helm from? Wanted to do something similar myself.
