Issued for cold rooms, late hours, and sustained inquiry.

We can’t always wear a waistcoat! This heavyweight black crewneck is built to endure the conditions under which the League’s work most often occurs. Cut with a relaxed, boxy silhouette, it settles naturally across the shoulders and allows for unencumbered movement during long periods of study or transit. Centered on the chest, the League crest appears in antique gold — a baroque shield framing the familiar mark, ornate without being ostentatious.

The garment-dyed finish lends the fabric a softened, timeworn depth, as though it has already seen years of use within the Archives. Inside, a dense 3-end fleece provides warmth without trapping heat, while the cotton face remains breathable and comfortable against the skin. Recycled polyester reinforces the structure, ensuring the garment retains its shape through repeated wear.

This is not a seasonal novelty. It is a functional layer — worn over a simple shirt in the morning, or alone when the work runs long into the evening. Substantial. Unassuming. Designed to disappear into routine while quietly signalling affiliation to those who recognise the insignia.
