These vestments were made for a returning customer from the United States.
These distinctive vestments were made from a rich red English brocade, lined in Royal Blue taffeta.
The orphrey of this chasuble is formed from one of the Saint Bede Studio's unique braids called Saint Chad. This braid is derived from a chasuble in the collection of Saint Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham (UK) which was designed by that luminary of the Gothic Revival AWN Pugin.
No matter where you shop for your vestments, be it in Poland, India, Italy, Spain, America, nay, even at Watts and Co., you will not find orphrey braids like those employed by the Saint Bede Studio. The Saint Bede Studio's braids are unique, striking, distinctive and imaginative. They are designed by the writer of this blog and made exclusively for the Studio's use.
And remember ... vestments made by Catholics for Catholics.
