Templar Cloaks

This classic cape with hood is just like the ones the crusaders wore when they were fighting the infidels in the Holy Land. Of course the very large, very red cross which is stitched on the cape over its wearer's heart is its most important feature. Made of heavyweight, 100 percent cotton, our white cape with wine red cross measures approx. 144 cm from the shoulder down. It fastens at the throat with a drawstring. The hood is very roomy and ends in a medieval liripipe.

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory." Psalm 115 was the motto of the Templar Knights, an order that was established in the wake of the first Crusade. Combining the ideals of noble knights and religious monks was as much of a historical innovation as the Crusades themselves were.

The battling Christians were highly visible on account of their white garb, which bore a contrasting red cross pattee. Our reproduction of the long, full white cape they wore is historically accurate. It is made of two layers of 100 percent cotton: a white, textured outer layer lined in the same red as the large cross at the left front. This Templar Knights cape fastens at the throat with sturdy ties and measures almost 150 cm from the shoulder seam down.

At the council of Troys in 1128, the Templar Order was confirmed by Pope Honorius II. The Knights received the white vestment as a symbol of purity of their life, to which Pope Eugenius added the Red Cross in 1146. King Baldwin II, the King of Jerusalem, installed the Order in a part of the Palace of Jerusalem believed to be Solomon’s Temple, from which they took the name of Knights of the Temple or Templars.

The order’s battle honours in the defence of the Holy Land are now legendary, while the accounts of their missing accumulated wealth are still a mystery.
