"A warrior?s surcoat must never bind at the stride, nor stifle a man when the sun beats down upon the levy." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Derived from the historical kit of the twelfth- and thirteenth-century Knights Templar, this tabard serves as a functional heraldic layer over maille or an arming doublet. Worn by the holy order whose charge was the defence of road-weary pilgrims, the stark, stitched red cross across the breast proclaimed an unyielding martial vow.
Crafted responsibly from recycled cotton, the textile balances historical appearance with pragmatic resourcefulness. Reclaimed weave reduces water consumption and textile waste while offering a rugged texture that breathes freely during extended marches or intense field drills. Because each piece is woven from repurposed yarns, subtle variations in texture and natural tone will appear, giving your kit the lived-in character of genuine garrison issue rather than a fresh parade dress.
Practicality governs the cut. Deep slits running up the front and back hems prevent the skirts from tangling your legs during foot combat, marching, or riding. Slip it on over your gambeson, cinch your sword belt tightly around the waist, and the garment falls cleanly to shield your iron from excessive sun. When dust and campaign grime settle, care for the fabric by washing in cold water, air drying to preserve shape and colour, and smoothing with a low iron only when needed.
