Leatherhelms The shape of steel...the warmth of leather .
Leathe rhelms produces handcrafted
leather helmets, modeled after the metal
spangenhelms worn by fighting men
of the Middle Ages.
These helmets are riveted, four panel helmets, made of heavy saddle leather. They are precisely cut and molded into curved shapes, then hardened, using the cuir bouilli method. Finally, they are buffed with beeswax as a preservative.
