In this post we are pleased to present a set of black vestments. The liturgical colour of vestments which have been most rarely made by the Saint Bede Studio over the 25 years of our work is BLACK. It is obvious that within the Church there is still an unease about wearing black vestments at funerals.
These vestments were made from a black brocade and were fully-lined in taffeta of a dark grey. The chasuble is ornamented with a brocade in colours of slate grey upon black. A galloon of black and silver outlines the TAU ornament at the front of the chasuble and the column at the back.
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. Interested readers, beware of poorly-made imitations!
