How the sergeants of the order of hospitallers could wear the "Chapel de Fer"(kettle hat) with the "cappa clausa" (The "coule", also called cuculle (of Latin cucullus), is a hooded clothing worn by the monks. )? Because with the hood it's impossible |

Maybe they wore the helmet over the hood? |

Perhaps you wear either, but not both at the same time. |

I was told the same thing as Karelian Knight … But maybe the "Kettle Hat" was not used in that order? |

Yes I was told that too, it's excellent… But I think it's weird … |

No weirder than wearing something in battle that was so unsuitable they were given dispensation to not wear it – eventually. |

And then it's the ideal helmet of the sergeants … So in combat he wears it and the hood is lowered … Finally, I hope… And for the field of vision it's better to have the hood down in combat. |

It is my understanding that helmets were often only donned for combat or when there was a was imminent threat of combat. Other head coverings being worn until then. |

The problem is that he has Templar representations with the Kettle Hat and there are none for the hospitallers? |
