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.
