Harold Godwinson — Earl of Wessex, kite shield raised, standing on Senlac Hill — was the last king of England appointed by the Witan. He had already beaten one invasion that autumn at Stamford Bridge. He marched his exhausted army south and met the Normans on a Sussex hillside. By dusk, the Anglo-Saxon world was over. This design captures the banner of that defiance — the Fighting Man's kite shield, the mark of a king who refused to yield. Wear it as a quiet tribute to the king who fought to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnisex adult fit — true to size across S–2XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50\/50 cotton-poly blend, 8.0 oz\/yd² — warm, durable, and comfortable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubular knit with no side seams for a smooth silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed knit collar and double-needle stitching throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEKO-TEX certified — ethically sourced US cotton, made in Nicaragua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 12 colours: Charcoal, Dark Heather, Heliconia, Irish Green, Light Blue, Light Pink, Red, Sand, Sport Grey, White, Military Green, Royal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Nicaragua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"min-width: 360px;\" id=\"size-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003eXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e2XL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e20.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e22.01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e24.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e26.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e28.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eLength, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e27.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e28.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e29.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e30.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e31.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eSleeve length (from center back), in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e33.50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e34.50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e35.50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e36.50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e37.50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold (max 30°C \/ 90°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-chlorine bleach as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTumble dry low heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not dry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho was King Harold II?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarold Godwinson was Earl of Wessex and the last Anglo-Saxon King of England — the final king appointed by the Witan.
