Triumvir - World Tour Mini Collection

Orange County emperors Triumvir make its return with the World Tour spring pre-collection.

Brandon at Triumvir wrote in to school us on the inspiration behind the World Tour and highly-anticipated Civil War spring collections, namely Julius Caesar’s personal death squad, the 13^th Legion.

“Legio XIII was [Caesar’s] personal and most decorated legion during his campaigns in Gaul, France and the first legion he took to cross the Rubicon River into Italy during the Roman Civil Wars,” Brandon wrote. “So I created Legio XIII as part of a theme for Triumvir… a darker collection with more military symbols of the past as its emphasis.”

Brandon noted that the cities and dates printed on the back of the World Tour Raglan, Slim Hood and Tee are the actual battles fought by the 13^th Legion during its active, blood-soaked run in ancient Rome. Following a decisive victory at Pompey, the unit was disbanded until called upon again to wreak havoc over the Conservative Republican Army at the Battle of Thapsus and the Battle of Munda. Those two brutal victories, which saw Caesar return to Rome as dictator shortly before his assassination, inspired the new “Deathsquad” emblem found on the raglan, hoodie and tee, as well as the World Tour Hat.

“In my mind,” Brandon continued, “Triumvir is the continuation of Rome spoken out into a lifestyle brand… so it’s only right for the legion to be recalled after death…”

The legion of Triumvir heads should keep both eyes open for the March premier of the Civil War line… we caught ourselves a sneak preview and all we can say is, well… the die is cast… Triumvir is coming, Triumvir’s all-seeing, Triumvir conquers.
