Medieval Helmet Chin Strap Pattern
Build a comfortable, secure, and historically inspired SCA Medieval helmet chin strap with this digital leatherworking pattern. Designed for SCA combat, medieval reenactment, HEMA, Buhurt, HMB, LARP, and historical helmets, it features a unique dual D ring suspension system that keeps your helmet secure while removing uncomfortable straps from your neck.
Unlike traditional chin straps, this design reduces rubbing, pressure, and beard hairs being tugged or snagged, making it a far more comfortable option during long tournaments, practices, and events. Field tested for years, it has become a favorite among fighters looking for a secure, reliable, and comfortable medieval helmet chin strap.
