Attaching an Aventail... AND Done!
Thorsteinn:
What is more period/better looking to attach an aventail to a helm with?
Use a strip of leather ala the Windrose Tried & True method or do a wire & metal strip attachement?

Thorsteinn:
I'm thinking of it as mine is a Windrose hat and was designed to have an aventail.

Ian:
All I know is 14th century bascinets were historically attached to the leather via some sort of heavy thread in the examples I've seen. This is the Lyle Bascinet in the Royal Armouries, and you can make out the thread sewn through the leather and then the upper most rings of the aventail.
Thorsteinn:
Ordered a Long SS Aventail from Master Knuut today.
With shipping it came to $235.
