13th Century Crusader Knight's Cloak with Hood
An Authentic Design for the Modern Knight
This knight's cloak is designed with an emphasis on historical accuracy and practicality. Its loose, flowing cut allows it to be worn comfortably over armour or several layers of clothing, while the generous span of fabric ensures that the cloak drapes you elegantly.
A Symbol of Faith and Honour
The most striking feature of the cloak is the large black cross pattée sewn onto the left shoulder. This symbol, inextricably linked with knightly orders such as the Knights Templar, immediately identifies the wearer as a warrior of the faith. Its contrasting placement on the light-coloured background ensures it is visible from a distance.
Practical Details
The spacious hood offers protection from the elements—be it harsh sun, wind, or light rain. It also lends the character a mysterious and imposing look. The cloak is fastened simply and securely at the neck with a sturdy cotton cord, a period-accurate and functional solution.
A Cloak That Wrote History
In the Middle Ages, cloaks and mantles were an essential part of the attire for every traveller, pilgrim, and especially knights. They provided protection from the cold and rain, but for members of the knightly orders, they also held deep symbolic meaning. The colour of the mantle and the type of cross clearly indicated affiliation with a particular order (e.g., a white mantle with a red cross for the Templars, a black mantle with a white cross for the Hospitallers). This cloak's appearance evokes the spirit of these holy warriors and their devotion to higher ideals.

How to Care for Your Cloak
To ensure your cloak serves you for as long as possible and maintains its appearance, we recommend following these instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (ideally 30°C / 86°F).
- Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Do not tumble dry. Allow the cloak to air dry by hanging it in the shade to prevent fading.
- If necessary, iron on a medium setting (cotton setting).
- Store hanging or folded in a dry place.
