Burlet for Helmet Type 2

Description

The Burlet for Helmet Type 2 is a refined and visually striking accessory designed to replicate the elaborate styles found in medieval effigies, manuscripts, and reenactment settings. Unlike the basic ring of Type 1, this version features a multi-strand or twisted construction, often combining two or more fabric colors for a dynamic appearance that adds flair to your helmet while preserving its functionality.

This padded roll wraps securely around the base of your helmet or mail coif, providing a soft yet firm cushion that prevents chafing and stabilizes the helmet during battle or display. Crafted using a wool-stuffed core and durable outer fabric such as cotton or linen, the Type 2 burlet can be customized to match your heraldic colors or household livery.

Whether you’re preparing for a historical reenactment, SCA event, or simply looking to elevate your medieval kit, this burlet combines tradition, comfort, and eye-catching style.
