I picked up this helmet on the DOD (Helmet of Castile: www.museumreplicas.com/helmet-of-castile). I want to put together a full kit to go with it. The helmet has a decent liner, but I plan to get a coif and arming cap as well. Is the proper way to wear it: arming cap, coif and helmet? I assume it is but just double checking. Also, what type of hand protection would a knight of the 13th century wear? Thanks.

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

That's the way I wear mine. Arming cap, coif, helmet. Some folks even wear a small skull-cap helm over the cap, then the coif on top, then the helmet.

13th C. hand protection? Probably mail mittens or gauntlets, or very simple clam-shell plate gauntlets.
