An Englisc Coat of Arms. The word "Englisc" pays homage to Old English tradition - our very early ancestors referred to themselves as the "Englisc". Our version has at its centre the iconic Sutton Hoo helmet which belonged to King Raedwald, one of the first Bretwaldas, or Overlords, of all the English people. The helmet is now displayed at the British Museum in London. On either side of the helmet are the wolf and the dragon both of which feature strongly in English legend and folklore. Below the helmet are shown the 4 flags of the ancient English kingdoms of Mercia, Wessex, East Anglia and Northumbria. The runes spell out “protect the English nation” and the scroll bears the legend “se swa his halaford” – “each his own lord” in Old English. It’s an old English saying that we like very much, and sums up nicely the outlook of our early ancestors. It’s about loyalty and respect being given only to those who have earned it. Free men do not owe loyalty or respect to those who show no respect or loyalty to them....now you know.

Senlak is a new and innovative clothing label based in the Nottingham, England, at the heart of Old Mercia.
It's T-Shirts, sweatshirts and apparel use designs inspired by England and the culture, history and heritage of its people. The Senlak White Dragon logo is derived from The White Dragon of the Anglo-Saxons - the oldest known emblem of the English dating back well over a millennia. The arrow shape that appears on many of our labels is the runic symbol for the early English god Tiw. We name Tuesday after him (Tiw's Day). His symbol was said to evoke honour and courage and he was the protector of all warriors, but was also said to watch over the disabled, and the left-handed. The accompanying wording reads in Old English "Good is he who keeps faith"
This Englisc thing is part of so many , a multitude spread over the globe. For the unconventional and the non-conformist. For the free thinkers, the radical and the rebellious - we embrace all these things.
As for the name – Senlak, where do we get that? Well, it’s from a place where many years ago, brave men made their stand...
