Sorry to learn of your loss, Benjamin. I second the compliment about the headstone.
Regards,
Mike

MY condolences on your loss Benjamin. That is a very nice stone. It will surely draw a lot of visitors to your wife's grave.

Andrew, that T-shirt suggests that you are not Andrew Kerensky, but are in his service. ;-)

Not sure about that. Isn't it a surcoat?
Wiki: From about the 12th century, knights wore over their armour long, flowing surcoats - frequently emblazoned with their personal arms

The Kerensky following would wear his badge.

Traditionally, only a herald would be the only person to wear the arms of their employer. I guess this comes from a herald's role as messenger. I don't see why one shouldn't wear one's own arms on a t-shirt, although not on a herald's tabard.

I don't quite agree with that Ryan, if they are corporate arms those within the organisation (employed) or with their permission could wear the arms, universities and schools for an example. Likewise if the 'employer' is an individual and it is his personal arms, I think it would be at his discretion who uses his arms within his organisation. Armigeres can display their arms more or less how they wish and I cant see any reason why they couldn't wear their arms on a tabard/surcoat.
