Simple enough looking for heavy padded linen helmet liner for a kettle helm...
... and maybe a good cookie.

This is where I got mine.

One of my best armour purchases in 15 years of fighting.

Looks awsome. Where did you get the waxed linen thread that they recommend?

I get mine from Tandy Leather Factory, it's great stuff.

Tandy is expensive. I only buy from Tandy if I need something urgent enough that I'm unwilling to wait for shipping. There is a Tandy store in town.

Lol, exactly the same here as I have one ten minutes from my house and it feeds my instant-gratification demon.

Does anyone sell a liner with an integral cloth aventail (cloth drape below the helm and over the neck area)?
(And yes I know aventail is generally used to refer to the maille attached to the bascinet but I can't think of a better term)

Heat-wise, wouldn't a neck drape over the helmet be better than a padded one inside?

Thanks Blackoak but they only seem to sell liners for Bascinets and I don't want to spend that much to have to cut the bugger in half.

we are working on one in linen stuffed with tow or cotton depending on what we can work out. the samples are out and im waiting to get them back with prototypes. price is looking like around 50$ when there ready to go but they wont be here till prolly lilies or later.
sorry for the derail.

I wear mine in a conical, not a bascinet.

I have a red linen one made by hammer breaker. From memory it has 6 flaps that join in the middle and is designed to be suspended. I'm in Australia so I'm not sure what shipping would cost but it should fit in a padded envelope and not be very expensive if you're interested.
It is unused.
