Festal vestments : our unique braids


Gothic Revival Vestments


The vestments in this post were made from a brocade in a muted shade of gold and fully-lined in Royal Blue taffeta.  The Saint Bede Studio has made similar vestments on many occasions now and the combination of colours has been found very attractive by our customers.

The vestments are ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids, being a replica of a design by AWN Pugin; it is called Saint Chad.  Notice how this braid is arranged : the greatest care is taken with all our vestments to ensure that braids are precisely and harmoniously aligned, not cutting away design elements.  

In the attached images, you can see how the braid features red medallions which enclose a Cross, alternating with the first three letter of the Holy Name in a heraldic script : IHS.  The colours are vibrant and typically mediaeval.
