Teutonic Crusader Knight Tunic – Marto Spain

The Teutonic Crusader Knight Tunic is a faithful reproduction of the attire worn by the knights of the Teutonic Order. Made from medium-weight white cotton with a durable 40% cotton and 60% polyester blend, it features an imposing black velvet cross stitched onto the chest for dramatic effect. The collar and shoulders are trimmed with faux leather, adding texture and contrast to the design. Splits at the front, back, and both sides allow for maximum mobility, making this tunic not only a fantastic costume piece but also fully functional for reenactments, riding, and combat scenarios.

The Teutonic Order, officially known as the Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary’s Hospital in Jerusalem, was formed in 1191 during the Crusades. Originally a charitable order for caring for pilgrims in the Holy Land, it quickly evolved into a powerful military and religious force. Teutonic Knights wore distinctive white surcoats with black crosses and played major roles in Christian campaigns across Prussia, Lithuania, and the Baltic region. The iconic black cross design continued to influence European heraldry and military symbols, most notably the Prussian and German Iron Cross.
