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.

Size Guide

Syracuse Utah Temple

Location
Syracuse, Utah. The temple stands on a 12.268-acre site at 1098 South 2500 West, surrounded by farmland between the Great Salt Lake and Interstate 15, about 30 miles northwest of Salt Lake City, at an elevation of 4,275 feet.

Temple Number
The Church's 206th dedicated temple. At its dedication it was the 24th temple dedicated in Utah and the third built in Davis County, following the Bountiful Utah Temple (1995) and the Layton Utah Temple (2024).

Announced
, by President Russell M. Nelson, in the Sunday afternoon session of a general conference broadcast from Temple Square without a congregation because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was one of eight temples announced that day, a list that also included Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

Groundbreaking
. Elder Kevin R. Duncan, General Authority Seventy, presided at the ceremony and offered the site dedicatory prayer.

Dedicated
, by President Russell M. Nelson, in a single session at 4 p.m., accompanied by Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The service was broadcast to meetinghouses throughout the temple district.

Architecture
A three-story steel-frame structure clad in white Moncini granite, with 90,526 square feet of floor area rising 219 feet 8 inches to the top of its single attached end spire.

Ordinance Rooms
Four instruction rooms, four sealing rooms, and two baptistries.

First Temple President
Val Dean Steel, with Luann Kay Flint Steel as matron. Their calls were announced in November 2024, and they began serving at the temple's dedication.

Construction Story
  • The site was announced on : a 12-acre field at the intersection of 2500 West and 1025 South, still surrounded by working farms. The official exterior rendering followed on , showing a three-story building of roughly 89,000 square feet.
  • Elder Kevin R. Duncan, who presided at the groundbreaking, grew up on this ground, and his great-grandfather was the first bishop of Syracuse. "I am very familiar with these fields where we stand, where we are gathered today," he said at the ceremony. "From this temple site, I can see the barn roof of my childhood home."
  • The temple was announced in part to ease demand on the Ogden Utah Temple, which was then serving members of 63 stakes. At the announcement, Utah was home to 2.1 million Church members, roughly two-thirds of the state's population.
  • Materials crossed the Atlantic in both directions: the exterior granite was fabricated by Campolonghi of Montignoso, Italy, and installed by IMS Masonry of Lindon, Utah, while the art glass was fabricated by Progetto Arte Poli of Verona, Italy, and installed by Steel Encounters of Salt Lake City.
  • The open house began with a media day on , followed by tours for invited guests, then a public open house from to , excluding Sundays.

Symbolism & Design
  • Design motifs feature the flora of the Great Salt Lake and its nearby wetlands, including the snowball sand-verbena, desert paintbrush, common cattail, and reeds, rendered in shades of blues, greens, golds, yellows, and reds drawn from the area's indigenous plants.
  • The transitioning greens, blues, and yellows in the art glass represent reflections of the lake, a nod to Syracuse's identity as the "Gateway to Antelope Island." The glass features faceted crystal and was designed by Architectural Nexus with assistance from Holdman Studios.
  • Millwork and stain-grade doors are plain sawn sapele, the celestial room carpet is 100 percent New Zealand wool, and the crystal chandeliers were fabricated by Schonbek of Plattsburgh, New York.

Trivia
  • It was the first temple in the Church dedicated with two baptismal fonts. "The reason for that is the high concentration of members and especially high concentration of youth," Elder Kevin R. Duncan explained during the open house. "Now they can come more frequently."
  • Its dedication marked the 200th temple to open its doors during President Russell M. Nelson's 100-year life, and it was the fifth temple he personally dedicated: Sapporo Japan as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, then Concepción Chile, Rome Italy, Deseret Peak Utah, and Syracuse as Church President.
  • The Church's first ward in Syracuse was created on , nearly 130 years before the city received a temple. The temple's district comprises 16 northern Davis County stakes in Syracuse, West Point, Clearfield, Clinton, and Sunset.

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.
