Number one, that’s some seriously good craftsmanship. I love this. It looks so cool and detailed. Number two, I have zero knowledge about the historical way these were done, so apologies for a very ignorant question. Did metal suits of armor have padding like this? It occurs to me that it makes total sense to have padding, but I don’t recall ever seeing “historical” preserved pieces with padding like this. Was that the norm? Either way, that’s the type of helmet I’d want. Looks beautiful.

I’m sure this will go well and will never be abused. I mean, good that doctors, attorneys and MPs are exempt, because fuck the everyman Joe worker. /s

It’s global average temps, not every area will be as hot as it’s ever been recently.
