Italian Barbute

Description of the Product

Barbute is a type of salade and was prevalent on the 14th and 15th centuries in northern Italy, but was also worn throughout Europe. Barbute gives good protection for the whole head, face and cheeks of the wearer but thanks to the T-shaped opening it doesn’t impair vision or breathing.
