En Garde

En Garde: mask down, foil forward, the back arm raised behind. The ready position before the bout, from the French call to get on guard. It is machine embroidered in five thread colours within a 10 × 10 cm area, on a garment-dyed cotton tee, a crewneck or a hoodie in a relaxed fit, or on a 10-litre cotton tote. The face is blank, so the figure can be yours or a gift for someone you know lives this sport. It is the only figure in Fencing so far, and one of forty in People of the Game.
