Anyone out there have pics of what they think is the coolest leather helm they have ever seen?

Like is this a cool helmet for a good guy?

That happy leather horse.

Would anyone be willing to argue it's safety?

I do know that the helms from http://valhallaleathercraft.com cost upward from $375+. One of my guys desided he had to have one

I always thought this would be awesome except for those four feather shaped things attached to the front back and sides. Maybe the top being domed instead of pionty. Not leather tho'

Looks safe to me...what's wrong with it?

by **Spork** » Wed May 10, 2006 4:15 pm

I don't think those parts in the front are penny-round. Doesn't look like it'd hurt anyone.

the issue 'might' be with the horses ears, a judgement call by the heralds. as for the chech ( idont think Ive ever written that word before) pieces, they should be fine.

That metal scale on the back of that one helm is just gorgeous. I love the look of scale like that, I just wish it were legal

If they fail your helm, they would have to fail Angmarths to. One of my guys went to SW and had his helm failed for pointiness and had to cut off a bunch of parts, and Angmarth's was clearly more pointy by FAR.

by **Chicken** » Thu May 11, 2006 8:37 am

Angmarth's points are leather, though, not thin sharp steel.

by **Sir Cairbre** » Thu May 11, 2006 9:18 am

My helm is pretty pointy... look at those teath... But it is made out of flexible leather that could barley harm an ant. There is a point when leather becomes not flexible. Like that horse head on top of the helm. Usualy weapons testers don't have a problem with stuff like that when checking armor.

by **V-Hil** » Thu May 11, 2006 9:30 am

Also, the teeth don't protrude like the Numenorean helm. Angmarth's is leather, not steel. Protrusion is probably the biggest killer for steel armor, even if it is penny rounded. My steel helmet not worn has a protruding nasal guard, but wearing it causes it not to protrude.

by **Grim Warhawk AlRitte** » Thu May 11, 2006 4:16 pm

I know its leather, my friends helm was leather. Weapons/Armor checkers at events need to know how to check armor properly. They failed my red leather armor for not being penny round. They failed his helm for being too pointy and it wasn't as pointy as other leather helms on the field.

by **V-Hil** » Thu May 11, 2006 10:54 pm

Then some people are interpreting the rules wrong I think...

by **Clangden** » Wed May 17, 2006 8:45 pm

I think the Uruk-Hai have some cool helms.

by **kohntre** » Fri May 19, 2006 8:40 am
