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.

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.

Construction Story
  • Four years and three months passed between the announcement and the dedication, with the groundbreaking coming less than a year after the announcement.
  • The public open house ran through , excluding Sundays and Thanksgiving.

Symbolism & Design
  • The cherry tree is the governing motif, and the building uses the whole tree rather than just the flower: blossoms, leaves, fruit and branches recur in the art glass, the wood paneling, the metal handrails, the carpets and the light fixtures.
  • The choice points at what Orem used to be. Fruit growing built the town, and after residents named the settlement Orem in 1919, trainloads of fruit moved out on Walter Orem's railroad, earning the area the nickname Garden City of Utah.
  • Floors are Crema Marfil marble quarried in Turkey and fabricated in California. Marble wainscots and wood columns run through the building.

Trivia
  • It is the first temple in Orem, in a county that already had five.
  • At 218 feet it is taller than the Ogden Utah Temple, on a building barely two thirds the floor area.

FAQ

question_mark

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.

No. We are an independent company. Peculiar People is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Our goal with our clothing is for it to be seen. Which means it also needs to be your go-to comfort clothing.

It's made to be the first thing you grab when you want to be comfortable, and the first clothing you'll be prompted to wear.

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.

It's a men's cut. If you normally wear a women's medium, order a small for a fitted look or a medium if you want it roomier. The size guide video shows a woman at 5'9" in a small and a man at 6'4" in a large.

Original line art, made here, one temple at a time. Every drawing gets checked against verified references before we add it to our collection.

Yes. Ward and stake temple trips, mission reunions, family reunions. Email support@peculiarpeopleco.com with the temple, the garment, and roughly how many people, and I'll get back to you with a price.

An SVG of the temple line art for $4.95. Same drawing that goes on the shirts. It's a vector, so it scales to any size without going soft at the edges, and it opens in Cricut, Illustrator, Figma, or anything else that reads vectors.
