The Knights Templar were dissolved in 1312. Their symbol never followed.
For nearly two centuries, the Order stood at the edge of every Crusade, every siege, and every political calculation the medieval church could make. Then Pope Clement V disbanded them in a single decree. The red cross on white stayed. It outlasted the kings who feared them, the inquisitors who broke them, and every attempt to bury what they represented.
This tee puts that symbol where it belongs: front and centre.
A fully armoured Crusader knight stands visor-down, sword drawn, shield raised with the iconic red Templar cross. Fine gold heraldic linework surrounds him, detailed enough to reward a second look, bold enough to read clearly across a room. It's not a flat logo transfer or a faded clip-art design. It's a considered piece of heritage illustration printed in full-chest DTG, in gold, red, and black on a sport grey ground.
The right person will know exactly what they're looking at.
Built to carry the weight
The design is printed on a Gildan 5000 heavyweight blank at 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²) — substantial enough to hold its structure through regular wear and washing, medium enough to stay comfortable year-round without feeling thick in summer or thin in autumn. The sport grey colourway uses a cotton-dominant blend with a small polyester component for colour stability, so the grey stays true and the print holds its depth wash after wash.
The tear-away label leaves nothing scratching at your neck. The classic crew neck and relaxed fit work across occasions: comfortable enough for a weekend out, sharp enough for a casual-smart setting where the conversation turns to history whether you planned it or not.
Gildan holds membership of the US Cotton Trust Protocol. That means every purchase is backed by independently verified environmental and social production standards — not a claim on a hangtag, but a certification with an audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
The adult t-shirts are constructed from preshrunk 100% cotton (with minor polyester blends in certain heather, antique, neon, and safety colors for stability). It features a fabric weight of 5.3 oz/yd² (approximately 180 g/m²), providing a medium-to-heavy feel that balances durability with everyday comfort. The jersey knit construction includes a classic width, rib collar, and taped neck and shoulders for enhanced structure.
Our t-shirts are made using open-end cotton yarn, which delivers excellent durability while resulting in a slightly coarser texture compared to ring-spun or premium soft-style blanks. At a fabric weight of 5.3 oz, it offers a substantial, heavyweight feel that many customers find sturdy and well-suited for everyday wear or work environments.
Our t-shirts offer a classic, relaxed fit with a straight cut (not tapered or athletic). It is available in sizes ranging from Small to 5XL in most colors. The shirt includes a seamless double-needle 7/8" collar, double-needle sleeves and bottom hem, and quarter-turned construction to minimize torque and twisting after washing. Sizing tends to run true to standard adult measurements, though individuals preferring a more tailored silhouette may find it slightly boxier compared to modern fitted styles. Detailed size charts are available below for chest width and length verification.
To preserve the shirt’s shape, colour, and print integrity, wash it inside out in cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with like colours, using a gentle detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach; non-chlorine oxygen bleach may be used if necessary. Tumble dry on low heat (maximum 60°C) or air dry, and do not iron directly on prints. Always check the specific garment label, as care instructions can vary slightly by color. Proper care minimises shrinkage (already reduced by preshrinking) and fading.
Our t-shirts are preshrunk, which significantly reduces shrinkage compared to non-preshrunk garments. However, as a 100% cotton shirt (or cotton-dominant in certain colors), it may still experience minimal shrinkage—typically around 2–5% in length and 1–3% in width—primarily after the first wash. This effect is most noticeable when washed in hot water or dried on high heat. To minimise shrinkage, wash in cold or lukewarm water and tumble dry on low or air dry. Proper care generally keeps post-wash fit close to the original dimensions for most wearers.
