That is not a kettle hat, at this period of the late 13th, 14th, and 15th century, it was called the Cabasset. This comes from the Castilian or Catalan word "Capacete". It is best to remember the fact that the name "Kettle Hat", is a contemporary name for that helmet.
But so are mostl terms we use such as long sword, arming sword etc Medieval people mostly called them sword, but I don't think you would tell someone who uses the word "long sword" to be wrong. I think calling it a kettle hat is ok.

hi Metatron looks like a Military Helmet of today. i wore this Type of helmets for Days. And the relaxed style of wearing is really more comfortable ( so long the officers it not seeing :-) i have also another question What swords and armor using the Swabian ( Swiss) knights in the battle of civitate 1053 , against the Normans? William of Apulia says this over the Swabians : " There were proud people of great courage, but not versed in horsemanship, who fought rather with the sword than with the lance. Since they could not control the movements of their horses with their hands they were unable to inflict serious injuries with the lance; however they excelled with the sword. These swords were very long and keen, and they were often capable of cutting someone vertically in two! They preferred to dismount and take guard on foot, and they chose rather to die than to turn tail. Such was their bravery that they were far more formidable like this than when riding on horseback
Mr.Metatron, what do you think about Spanish-made armours, knifes and swords (from Toledo)? (They're very famous in all of Spain, what does the expert have to say?)
@@torinjones3221 The Spanish kettle helmet is beautiful, a true work of art. It was effective and fashionable. Many people make fun of it for some reason...
The armor smith I was looking at for Winged Hussar armor (Eryk from polish hussar supply) is out of a workshop for the time being so I'll probably consider Craftsmen of Taurica if they can make Hussar armor, it would be great to have it at a cheaper price too since it's only half armor and Eryk charges it for roughly the same Metatron is paying for his full plate armor. I'll just get the clothing and maybe the wings or cloak separately from polish hussar supply.
@@louirudy670 Oh yeah lol, I don't really have enough space to ride a horse on my property but once I join this Polish living history group near me they'll probably have a horse I can use. It would be kind of awkward wearing calvary armor without a horse.
Kettle helmets are still being used to this day though being phased out of almost all militaries and called something different. There's a reason they have lasted the test of time, versatile, doesn't impede hearing but still protects the ole noggin, brim provides some shade so perfect for desert warfare, comfortable to wear, doesn't impede breathing or vision... A salat or other visored helmet has a huge drawback, incredibly limited visibility and hard to breathe in. All that extra protection wont help if you take hits from a Warhammer to the head because you didn't see it coming, and having less fresh air means you will have less stamina which will make you more vulnerable the longer the fight lasts. In a 1V1 fight that's not a huge issue but in thick of the melee with thousands of combatants... I would choose a kettle first. Glad to see you got one for your harness.
When it comes to the original, it seems like someone was torn between the functionality of a kettle hat and the fashionable panache of a sallet for their personal retinue, and that is what the armourer came up with. Stranger things would have happened (Lantern Shields for one examle) Certainly looks good.
Perhaps knights wore kettle hats as a "marching helmet"? That is when moving long distances outside of the battlefield. More comfort and better vision. Slightly less protection than a helmet covering the whole head and face, but still some degree of protection if ambushed.
@@proudtitanicdenier4300: No, because a visored helmet would not ventilate as well for marching, nor does it offer the same freedom of vision to spot ambushes along the roads.
@@sevenproxies4255 The whole point of a visored helm is that the visor lifts up for better vision and ventilation. Why lug around a second helm when you can have the best of both in a single helm?
Eisenhut? If so that's also a one of europe's most poisonous plants that used to be somewhat ubiquitous in middle european culture and stories. The name could also come from "Eisenhütte", which would've been a place for smelting iron

There's a logging supply store here that sells broadbrimed kettle hats for logging and wildland firefighting; basically a hardhat of metal instead of plastic. Though a lot of the modern ones are made of composites, most of the metal ones don't look very out of place at the Ren Fair when the paint is removed. Edit: By the way, one of the best things about this style of hat is found in the name - there were many mornings when one of the guys on my crew would use his to boil up some water for coffee. True then as it is now.
Hello Italian man! Could you do more videos about early modern firearms and its evolution, especially matchlock, wheelock and flintlock? Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Do you realise that "noble ones" translates to "number ones" in auto captions? This means something a lot different in many English speaking regions. LOL.
Oddly enough i can see how the helm The Metatron has could evolve into the Marion, it has the beginnings of the pointed peak at the front and the start of the stereotypical crest of the Marion.
Think of how far we’ve come in just a few centuries. They used to use this sort of stuff hundreds of years ago, which was before gunpowder was made, crude oil was discovered and engines were made, and before companies started making tanks, humvees and cargo trucks, as well as planes that could be used to drop explosives on enemy camps and compounds.
Hey, Metatron, MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED released a video of them making Alucard's sword, which they classify as an estoc. But they forge it with a cutting edge. Isn't an estoc supposed to be a sword for thrusts and not supposed to have an edge for cutting? I genuinely would like to know, because I've seen and heard different and conflicting information on this. Cheers!
how much would a whole set of armour cost like? Like if you take the cheapest but still reasonably good quality stuff? Whole set of armour-> idk i gues a helmet, chaimlail, gloves, brestplait, or tunic, stuff for the legs and feet. Hopefully this question isn't that dumb
How does "gauge" even work in relation to thickness of metal? I know that in firearms(mostly shotguns) gauge means the number of lead balls with the diameter of the bore that would be needed to add up to one pound. So a 12-gauge bore is wide enough for a lead ball weighing one 12th of a pound. A 28-gauge bore is the size of a lead ball weighing one 28th of a pound, smaller than a 12g. A 1-gauge bore would be enough to shoot a lead ball weighing a full pound (a diameter of about 40+mm, I think). So how does this relate to metal thickness measurement? I think a 12-gauge shotshell has a diameter of about 18mm, so wouldn't 14-gauge be at least 15mm or something like that? As if gauge wasn't a headache-inducing measurement enough, now I'm even more confused.
Their shop is down but if i can get a Breast plate for a good price i would jump at it. As im working on a sorta Late Medieval Soldier/Footman if you like. Mainly for medieval fairs and stuffs.
If you want to use a helmet for actual combat, I advice an inner helmet like in a modern one. Merely lining/padding will give you lots of concussions when hit, and you will end up sounding like an old boxer.
Hey metatron,can you analyze passages of the bible in a linguistic way just like you did in a previous video a couple of years earlier.I thought that video was really interesting.
I'd go out on a limb here and say by the early 14th century most knights would have a kettle hat simply becasue it fills a role in being quite protective, but highly wearable and not constrictive to your senses that a open face bascinet/sallet or barbute does not. I mean what is the price of a helmet to a knight? And its going to be so much more comfortable as an every day wear campaign helmet.
Dear Metatron - please do a video on the Morion helmet which is so emblematic of Spanish power and captures a real epoch in the history of the West. Loved your kettle helmet and barbute videos.
The one you got looks more like a Sallet or that helmet the spanish like to wear, i forgot what its called. Alright, its a 15th century replica, so i'll excuse the similarities.
Hey Metatron, I'm not getting your videos on my recommendeds like I used to. I was unaware of this video until 2 days after it came out, and there are a bunch of recent videos on your channel that I was unaware of too.
I don't know why but I always liked kettle helmets, ever since I got some in some Lego medieval sets. Give me a kettle helmet and a spear and I'll be a happy man.
I want a helmet similar to this for Renaissance Fair use. I need a helmet that does not interfere with visibility or sound and provides some sun protection.
at first I really did not like kettle. more and more though I find time when they are very useful. still will always want a heavier option at hand though.

Could we have a comparrison of a shield wall and a pike square? Which would be better in, say,around the 15th century?
how much would a whole set of armour cost like? Like if you take the cheapest but still reasonably good quality stuff? Whole set of armour-> idk i gues a helmet, chaimlail, gloves, brestplait, or tunic, stuff for the legs and feet. Hopefully this question isn't that dumb
"Venne usato dai balestrieri genovesi" ...ovvio che fosse economico quindi!
Ogni tanto mi scordo che metatron é italiano, i commenti come questo me lo ricordano.
Peccato che solo noi italiani possiamo capire la battuta😂.
How does "gauge" even work in relation to thickness of metal? I know that in firearms(mostly shotguns) gauge means the number of lead balls with the diameter of the bore that would be needed to add up to one pound. So a 12-gauge bore is wide enough for a lead ball weighing one 12th of a pound. A 28-gauge bore is the size of a lead ball weighing one 28th of a pound, smaller than a 12g. A 1-gauge bore would be enough to shoot a lead ball weighing a full pound (a diameter of about 40+mm, I think).
So how does this relate to metal thickness measurement? I think a 12-gauge shotshell has a diameter of about 18mm, so wouldn't 14-gauge be at least 15mm or something like that? As if gauge wasn't a headache-inducing measurement enough, now I'm even more confused.
"Devo controllare qua perché ho... Due seco... Vedi?!"
When I watched Avatar the Last AirBender, I saw Earth Kingdom's and EarthBender's helmets, this helmet gave me those same vibes.
Their shop is down but if i can get a Breast plate for a good price i would jump at it. As im working on a sorta Late Medieval Soldier/Footman if you like. Mainly for medieval fairs and stuffs.
If you want to use a helmet for actual combat, I advice an inner helmet like in a modern one. Merely lining/padding will give you lots of concussions when hit, and you will end up sounding like an old boxer.
Hey metatron,can you analyze passages of the bible in a linguistic way just like you did in a previous video a couple of years earlier.I thought that video was really interesting.
I most like the wide brim kettle hat. Looks like neck protection from high arrows and sunshine.
No to mention the rain!
The fact that there haven't been that many videos lately definitely didn't help with that armour funding campaign.
"Cheap" might imply low cost and low quality, "affordable" implies low cost but variable quality. Maybe don't praise a product by calling a cheap?
he should say, it was a steal.
I'd go out on a limb here and say by the early 14th century most knights would have a kettle hat simply becasue it fills a role in being quite protective, but highly wearable and not constrictive to your senses that a open face bascinet/sallet or barbute does not. I mean what is the price of a helmet to a knight? And its going to be so much more comfortable as an every day wear campaign helmet.
The Titanium breastplate can be used to dress as = Time-traveler, Ancient Alien or Iseikai protag
Dear Metatron - please do a video on the Morion helmet which is so emblematic of Spanish power and captures a real epoch in the history of the West. Loved your kettle helmet and barbute videos.
The one you got looks more like a Sallet or that helmet the spanish like to wear, i forgot what its called.
Alright, its a 15th century replica, so i'll excuse the similarities.
Hey Metatron, I'm not getting your videos on my recommendeds like I used to. I was unaware of this video until 2 days after it came out, and there are a bunch of recent videos on your channel that I was unaware of too.
I don't know why but I always liked kettle helmets, ever since I got some in some Lego medieval sets. Give me a kettle helmet and a spear and I'll be a happy man.
Apologies for unsubing and resubing I hit a popup trying to pause the video.
It looks incredibly similar to a German helmet from ww1, more so than a sallet helmet even.
I imagine a kettle hat a regular blackened kettle from many uses cooking that you put on your head.
I want a helmet similar to this for Renaissance Fair use. I need a helmet that does not interfere with visibility or sound and provides some sun protection.
at first I really did not like kettle. more and more though I find time when they are very useful. still will always want a heavier option at hand though.
This form of kettlehat somehow reminds me of firefighter helmets, it looks quite similar, only the long rim in the neck is missing:)
Yes! Something to watch!
300 Euro for a welded helmet is not so cheap ;) in fact when you factor their location is more on the higher side
Both Stahlhelms and Brodies were based on variations of the kettle hat.
In my country, motorciclists wear their helmets like in the greek statues. It can get really really hot here so people never wear them properly.
craftsmen of taurica is great. i want to order a maciejowski kettle hat soon.
Whats the name of this particular kettle helmet? Or were all versions just called kettle hat
So many potential puns and double entendres....🤯
I played american football for around 13 years and we also would do that with our helmet while on the sidelines or on a knee
I prefer the long brim but I love the more modern style as well.
Looking at this kettle helm, it's easy to see how the morian developed.
Do you have any recipes for cooking in your kettle hat?
give us the genovese crossbowmen! there are definitely a lot of people who whant to see it!
