In this post, we are pleased to present a simple but elegant set of vestments recently purchased by a returning American customer. This particular style of chasuble we have called
Saint Anselm. It differs from our usual sets in that the chasuble is unlined (although the accessories are fully lined).
The Saint Bede Studio's Saint Anselm vestments are especially designed for warmer climates; but they might also be used where there is a preference for less elaborate vestments, whilst still being worthy and dignified. Such vestments might also be used in concelebrations or in Masses celebrated during the week.
The front and the back of the
Saint Anselm chasuble is decorated with a pendant approximately 15cm (6 inches) wide. The pendants are sewn into the chasuble neckline and do not hang loosely. We usually construct these pendants from silk upon which is a stripe of one of the Studio's unique braids. In the case of this set of vestments, the pendants are formed from crimson dupion silk, ornamented with our
Saint James orphrey braid.
The neckline of the front of the Saint Anselm chasuble is specially shaped into a curved "V". Sometimes we make an amice apparel to accompany the chasuble, but no form of attached roll-over collar is attached to our vestments. Everything about these vestments is good, well-crafted and sturdy; they are easy to wear, but not fly-weight.
