The ordinand asked for a chasuble in the Borromeon style. A Renaissance-foliage silk damask in ivory was chosen for the vestments, ornamented with a silk damask of burgundy and gold, outlined with a narrow galloon. The ornamentation is in the traditional Roman style of the TAU. The chasuble was fully lined in cherry-red cotton.
In addition, a cope, humeral veil and dalmatic were prepared to complement the chasuble. Made from the same fabrics, these are shewn below. The hood of the cope is also in the style of the 16th century, typically Roman in shape, but pre-dating the exaggerated dimensions found in copes of the later Baroque period.
