I’m a lively marketer and a proud London Mason – and I’ve been itching to have something I can actually wear to the pub, the school run, or a Sunday stroll on the South Bank without shouting “Freemasonry!” Subtle. Smart. London. That was the brief.
We partnered with a small crew of young Met brethren – proper Londoners with good taste. The result is two beautifully considered, quietly symbolic tees that let you carry a piece of the Craft in everyday life.
The Designs
Three Pillars: Drawing inspiration from the symbolism in Freemasonry of the three pillars, the design features stylised drawings of a Doric, an Ionic and a Corinthian pillar; next to one another with a pigeon playfully added as a nod to the capital’s unofficial mascot.

Thames: Building on the UGLE modern Square and Compass logo, the design features the river Thames passing through the symbol and uses Light Blue, Dark Blue and Red to symbolise the Craft, the Royal Arch and the River Thames.

How to Wear Them
You can wear them in any smart casual context, out at the weekend or even at the gym. They 're designed to ooze everyday style with discreet symbolism. They're also perfect gifts: ideal for candidates, milestones, or visiting Brethren.
Respectful of the Craft, unmistakably London, and built for real life. If you’re a Met Mason (or a friend of one), these tees let you carry the square, the river, and the city we share – close to the heart. If you know, you know.
