Sir Joshua's Surpirise Kit
Joshua Santana:
--- Quote ---Yeah, by the mid 14th, the great helms had pretty much evolved into more of the round-topped Pembridge style, and were usually worn over a proto-bascinent sort of cap that was integrated into the coif. This is hard to do with off-the-shelf gear. The helms can be found online, but not so much in the way of these proto-bascinents that will fit inside. So most people just end up wearing a regular coif, I think.

That is what I am ending up with. I will go with the Pembroke Great Helm with a Cervelliere (or secret helm). Sadly, this lieaves yet to another dilemma, which one to choose. I am facing either A&A, Clang, Therion, or Best Armor.)

Concerning the coif, I thing an arming coif would be good, since the proto-bascinet is hard to find. What say you on this?

--- Quote ---ya go for a riveted shirt. i'm a fan of a coat of plates, ring mail shirts are not very historical if at all.

That is what I ended up. I wil go with the COP that I posted previously, I like that it is close to the Corazina design and it has straps which makes it easier to put on.
Riveted mail is my choice mail and I wonder would aluminum work?

Out of curiosity, would this helm also work?

Yeah, that's sort of a cross between a visored bascinet, and a sugarloaf great helm. I think you can get away with that for early/mid 14th century.
Joshua Santana:
That is what I thought when I found it.
I think that what I am trying to get is Early to Mid 14th Century. I do like the Pembroke Great Helm, but I admit the Brass Cross Great Helm is a classic that I can't resist.
So the revised Kit would look like this.

Sir Wolf:
i like that version of the helmet
Sir William:
That is a nice helm...I think I'll be looking for an open faced bascinet, much like the MRL one, pretty soon.
