These Gothic Revival vestments were made from an ecclesiastical brocade in a rich shade of red, and ornamented with the Studio's unique braids. The braid illustrated is called Saint Giles. The lining of these vestments was formed from a golden shade of taffeta.
Please pray for all newly-ordained priests.

Recently presented to a priest of the Archdiocese of Melbourne is this chasuble in the Saint Bede Studio's Saint Anselm style.
This style of chasuble, which we have been making for a few years now, is simple and comfortable to wear. Although the chasuble is unlined, it is made from substantial, not flimsy material, so that it hangs down well. Around the neckline, on the underside of the chasuble is a facing, which causes the vestments to sit well on the shoulders.
Concerning the appearance of this vestment, it is intended to be a mixture of the contemporary and the traditional. It is a long chasuble and reaching near to the wrists. It is ornamented simply. The colour of the ornament varies, but consists of two columns made from silk with a selection of the Studio's unique braids.
In the case of this chasuble, the Studio's braid Saint George is laid upon pendants of vibrant red silk dupion. These pendants are attached to the front and to the back of chasuble.
Each of these simpler chasubles is supplied with a fully-lined stole. They are available in all the liturgical colours.

Presented in this post during the Pentecost Octave is the Saint Bede Studio's Saint Martin chasuble, which is our own contemporary interpretation of the ancient form of Roman chasuble. These vestments are extremely ample, but not shaped like a sack and so they sit well on the celebrant, flowing gracefully and gathering in beautiful folds.
Usually, we ornament the Saint Martin chasuble in the Roman style, being a Tau ornament in the front and a column at the back, formed from braids and contrasting damask. The vestments can be made in a variety of qualities of fabric in all the Liturgical colours, and can be lined or unlined.
This particular set of Saint Martin vestments, made for a returning customer, are quite simple in design, but splendid in appearance. A rich-red shade of dupion silk was used for the ground fabric, with a strongly-contrasting lining in blue taffeta. Untypically, the vestments are ornamented in the Gothic manner, rather than the Roman manner, with one of the Studio's unique braids Saint Chad, a design directly based on the work of AWN Pugin.

Such chasubles are of moderate length, but reaching only to the elbows. The ornamentation of these vestments is arranged in the Roman style, being a Tau ornament in the front and a column at the back. This vestment has become very popular with those priests who like the Roman style, but do not feel comfortable in that unhappy form of chasuble nick-named The Fiddleback. The Saint Philip Neri chasuble is made by the Studio in a variety of fabric qualities, in all the Liturgical colours and is fully-lined.
This particular set of vestments was made for a customer in the United Kingdom. There were made from a brocade of pure silk in a muted shade of gold. A silk brocade in colours of terracotta and old gold was used to ornament the vestments, outlined in the Roman manner with a braid straw-gold in colour. The lining was of red taffeta.
