Product description
This hooded cloak refers to the world of the Templars, in full the Order of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon. This religious military order was founded in 1096, at the end of the First Crusade, to ensure pilgrims a safe journey to Jerusalem. The members of the order were among the best-trained soldiers of the Crusades, while the non-fighting brothers built up an extensive banking system throughout Europe and had mighty fortresses constructed.
The cloak is made of sturdy cotton canvas dyed with natural dyes. It has a generous hood and is fastened with the included closing cords. It is a one-size model that fits most wearers and drapes smoothly over the rest of your clothing. Hand wash the cloak at a maximum of 30 °C so that the natural dye colour stays beautiful.
A cloak like this really comes into its own in historical re-enactment and living history around the Crusades, and is equally at home on the LARP field. Worn over your tunic or armour, it instantly completes your look.
