King Edward the Confessor — Bayeux Tapestry Heritage T-Shirt
Edward the Confessor sits at the very origin of 1066. His death in January of that year set three men on a collision course for the English throne — and the design on this tee traces directly back to the source. Based on Charles Stothard's meticulous 19th-century replica of the Bayeux Tapestry, the image carries the weight of the original without the centuries of fading. It's a piece of history rendered in ink on a medium-weight 100% cotton Gildan 5000 — quiet enough for everyday wear, specific enough to start a conversation.
