Our Story
Our Story
Peculiar People started in 2023 while I was serving a mission in San Antonio, Texas. The name comes from Peter's description of the Saints as "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" — members who keep their covenants without making a show of it, and are fine looking a little old-fashioned for it.
We make apparel with original line art of Latter-day Saint temples, made one temple at a time and printed on heavier, better-made garments. Most members want to talk about the gospel but don't know how to open the door. A shirt someone asks about is an easier start than a knock on one.

Essential Temple Tee (West Jordan)
The Tee
You put on a Peculiar People shirt because it reminds you why we're all here. Because that building is where you were sealed to your spouse, where you got an answer to a prayer you'd been carrying for years, where you first felt something you couldn't explain away. A stepping stone. A day you'll never forget.
You put it on because you want to share that with someone. Because gospel conversations are hard to start. Harder than they were on your mission, when the whole day was built around them.
It's the new white shirt and tie. The new dress. The new name tag you don't need a calling to wear. A shirt you may even feel prompted to wear some days.
That's why I started this company. It doesn't take much for someone who has been prepared to tap you on the shoulder and ask a question that changes the direction of their life. No argument, no pitch, no lesson plan. Just an opening.
And you keep it on because it's premium heavyweight ringspun cotton, garment-dyed to that soft, worn-in vintage look you'd wear even if it said nothing at all.

Size Guide
West Jordan Utah Temple
Status
Announced, with the site being prepared for construction. Preliminary earthwork began in late 2025 and continued through spring 2026, and the temple site has been graded and staked, but ground has not been formally broken. No groundbreaking, open house, or dedication dates have been announced.
Location
West Jordan, Utah, a Salt Lake City suburb on the southwest side of the Salt Lake Valley. The temple will rise on a 16.1-acre site at approximately 7148 South, west of Highway 111, near the western edge of the city, at an elevation of 5,308 feet. The grounds will also hold a new meetinghouse with shared parking.
Temple Number
The first temple for the city of West Jordan and, when built, the sixth in Salt Lake County. At its announcement it became the 29th temple for Utah, counting temples operating, under renovation, under construction, or announced. Its number among the Church's dedicated temples will be fixed at its dedication.
Announced
, by President Russell M. Nelson in the concluding session of the 194th Annual General Conference, one of 15 temples announced that day.
Architecture
A multi-story temple of approximately 85,000 square feet. The exterior rendering, released , shows a single spire attached at one end of the building.
Construction Story
- The site was released on , two weeks after the announcement, in the same First Presidency release that placed the Lehi Utah and Tampa Florida temples.
- Preliminary earthwork was visible at the site by late November 2025, and crews spent early 2026 grading and staking the property. A groundbreaking date will be announced once construction is ready to begin.
Trivia
- It was announced the same day as the Lehi Utah Temple, and the two share the same plan on paper: each a multi-story temple of approximately 85,000 square feet with a new meetinghouse on the temple grounds.
- The 15 temples announced on brought the Church's worldwide total of temples, built or announced, to 350.
- It will be the westernmost of Salt Lake County's six temples, about 10 miles northwest of the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple in South Jordan.

FAQ
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
I get this one a lot, and I thought about it before I drew the first one. These are architectural drawings of a building, not anything that happens inside it. No slogans, nothing that turns the temple into a punchline. If you'd put a framed temple photo in your living room, this is that same idea on cotton.

Our prints are made to last. To esure No bleach, and no fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls the print over time. Don't iron over the design. You can wash it before the first wear to get the loose surface dye off, but you don't have to.
