In this post is depicted a section of a set of vestments in a lovely shade of green.
These vestments are in the Studio's Saint Philip Neri style, which is the product of years of research into historical vestments and refinement of dimensions for comfortable use. The Studio revived this more ample 16th century style of the Roman chasuble in 2007 and since then we have made many of them. Beware of poorly-designed imitations!
The work of the Saint Bede Studio is distinctive for its artistic qualities and the pains taken with every detail, such as the alignment of ornaments. Even a restrained set of vestments like this is striking for its combination of colours and fine workmanship.
In this instance, the choice was made to use a galloon in colours of black and gold to ornament the vestments : at first glance, an odd choice. At close range, the contrast is distinctive; at a distance, black and gold merge with the surrounding green to produce an harmonious effect.
