An eerie sight during the height of the Black Plague, the plague doctor or beak doctor would treat his patients in a striking bird-like mask. The Leather Plague Doctor Mask allows you to dress like this iconic medieval doctor. Crafted from natural, full-grain leather that has been vegetable tanned, this beak doctor mask comes in black or brown to give you options for your look. Round eye holes and nose openings at the end of the beak ensure that you can comfortably wear this leather mask out and about. Top-grain leather straps and fittings help to hold the unique headdress to your face. The stitching around the edges of the Black Plague mask strengthens the structural stability of the piece for a long lifetime of use.

Looks great, good quality materials, sturdily built. No trouble breathing and only a little bit seeing since I can’t wear my glasses underneath.
These aren’t criticisms, but there are a couple things to be aware of:
1. You probably can’t wear glasses under it.
2. If you have a longer face, it may be a tight fit. I have a face like Herman Munster and it barely fits me
3. The forehead protrudes quite a bit past where your natural forehead is, so hats won’t fit quite right over the mask.
4. The attachment mechanism is a leather strap with metal grommets over the top and cloth straps on the sides. I suggest running the straps through the middle of the grommet you want to use, weaving the excess up through all the other grommets and securing the remainder with a knot.
For best results I also recommend wearing a balaclava under the mask.
