The Season Per Annum 15 : our unique braids
In this post is depicted a set of vestments in a subtle shade of green brocade and ornamented with the Studio's Sancte Deus orphrey braid. This new braid amongst the Studio's offerings is in the distinctive colours of deep blue and ivory upon a green background.
These vestments are in one of our Gothic Revival styles which we call Saint Benet. The chasuble and accessories were lined in a bottle-green taffeta.
The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.

Festal Vestments in the Saint Philip Neri style : 2
The first image depicts a section of the back of the chasuble, including an attractive applique of the Greek letters Kai and Rho. The second image depicts a section of the front of the chasuble.
The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.
The chasuble is in the Studio's Saint Philip Neri style, which is the product of years of research into historical vestments and refinement of dimensions for comfortable use. The Studio revived this more ample 16th century style of the Roman chasuble in 2007 and since then we have made many of them. Beware of poorly-made imitations!

Saint Philip Neri vestments : Red
In this post, we are pleased to present a set of vestments of dignified appearance, made in the traditional Roman style. The vestments are made from a splendid crimson-red brocade and fully-lined in a dark purple shade of taffeta. The chasuble in this post is ornamented in the well-known Roman style, a TAU at the front and a column at the back, formed simply by an outlining bronze-coloured galloon.

Simple green vestments
In this post is shewn two sections of a simple chasuble made from green dupion and ornamented with a column at the front and the back. The columns are decorated with one of the Studio's unique braids Saint James in colours of gold and burgundy upon a red background.
This set of vestments is in the style we have called Saint Anselm; it is not elaborate, but neither is it just thrown-together. It is well-designed and of dignified appearance. Note that the column is made from a red-coloured dupion silk, which complements the colour of the braid. We also find that the column is not of exaggerated width, but of substantial appearance. The shape of the neckline, coming to a shallow "V" at the front, but rounded at the back is elegant but sturdy and lacking the awful fold over collars which are all-too-frequently attached to chasubles.
There is much to be said for vestments of simple dignity. These vestments are well-made and will be serviceable for a number of years if treated respectfully.

A conical chasuble
The primitive style of chasuble is shaped like a bell and when the arms of the wearer are by the side, it envelops the body from the neck to the chins. But when the arms of the wearer are extended, the conical chasuble folds up from the bottom, as the image above clearly shews.
These vestments were made from a rustic silk, with a linen-like weave and in a "natural" colour. The ornament of the front of the chasuble is very simple, but more elaborate on the back, as shewn in the image below. These vestments were made for a Byzantine parish in a tropical climate. The chasuble is unlined, but because of the weight of the silk, the vestment has good drapery and is not in the least flimsy.
