For SCA combat, there is not much you can do without having an aventail hanging off your helm, and a butted mail one will not work. It would just fall apart.

Alright.

I am not sure if the flat top is what would be considered an early norman crusader helm. I'm pretty sure if you want early, you would still go with the conical, someone correct me if I am wrong, please.

If you use the army blanket route, be sure that it is 100% wool. Most army blackets have synthetics in them. Sportsmansguide.com usually carries several differant military blankets.

John,

I ordered mine straight from him, I think Camric got a couple from him personally and a couple ordered straight from him. He is a great guy to work with and working with him directly, you get exactly what you want. My two cents.
