Details
The Rest Is History Classic T-Shirt
This is the starter piece for any listener. The Rest Is History Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) is made from 100% ring-spun cotton that's pre-shrunk, so it won't shrink down to a doublet size. The relaxed unisex fit feels like something a Renaissance merchant might have worn - if they'd had access to modern comfort. It's soft, breathable, and features the show's logo in a subtle, non-screaming way. Perfect for those who want to connect with episodes like the recent series on the Borgias or the deep dive into Leonardo's notebooks.
The Rest Is History Premium Hoodie
For cooler days - or when you want to feel like a Florentine scholar in a humble abode - The Rest Is History Premium Hoodie ($49.99) is the move. It's heavier than the t-shirt, with a brushed interior that keeps you warm without the bulk of a Medici cloak. The kangaroo pocket holds your phone or a copy of Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier. It's become a favorite among fans who attend live shows or listen on long walks.
The Rest Is History Polo Shirt
Want something a bit more put-together? The Rest Is History Polo Shirt ($34.99) bridges the gap between casual and collared. It's perfect for Renaissance festivals, casual Fridays, or trivia nights about the Council of Trent. The embroidered logo on the chest is understated - like a secret handshake for fellow history nerds.
The Rest Is History Tank Top
When summer heat hits like a papal schism, reach for The Rest Is History Tank Top ($19.99). It's the lightest option in the lineup, great for layering under a linen shirt or wearing solo while you binge episodes on the deck. The fabric breathes well, and the fit is true to the brand's relaxed aesthetic.
All these items use quality materials and simple designs that don't scream "podcast merch." They're made to wear out in the world - whether you're a casual listener or a hardcore Renaissance reenactor. If you're looking for something connected to this moment, The Rest Is History Classic T-Shirt is a good place to start.
