Puginesque Vestments

A young priest from the Archdiocese of New York commissioned vestments made in the Gothic Revival form from the Saint Bede Studio. The chasuble (shewn in the adjacent photograph) was made from an ecclesiastical brocade in a shade of crimson red. The vestments were lined in royal blue cotton.

The orphrey braid used to ornament these vestments is one of several which have been especially designed by the Saint Bede Studio. A chasuble design by AWN  Pugin in the collection of Saint Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham, was the basis for the design of this braid.
