Order of the Laurel Heavy Cotton Tee
Wisdom, mastery, and enduring craft — this Order of the Laurel unisex heavy cotton tee stands as an unofficial tribute to the highest achievement in the arts and sciences within the Society for Creative Anachronism. For those whose hands, minds, and hearts shape wonder from raw material, this garment honors the path of study, excellence, and teaching.
The front and back feature a variation of the insignia associated with the Order of the Laurel — a green wreath of leaves, elegantly framed in classic medieval lettering. Simple, dignified, and instantly recognizable, the laurel wreath symbolizes mastery, scholarship, and the patient dedication required to elevate craft into art.
On the left sleeve, the same wreath appears alone without text, offering a subtle mark of accomplishment and respect — visible in archery butts, artisans’ halls, guild meetings, and court alike.
Made from strong yet comfortable heavy cotton, this shirt is perfect for working in the shop or studio, attending events, teaching classes, or wearing proudly among fellow Laurels, apprentices, artisans, and admirers of the subtle magic of making.
• Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee

🌿 Where mastery blooms — the Laurel grows ever green. 🌿
