This joyous Feast, however, is much older than the popular culture and "the wearin' of the green." The liturgical colour conforms with that of the Feasts of other Confessors, which has been white (with some variations) for a thousand years - or even longer.
Nevertheless, nothing prevents Festal vestments being ornamented with green and in this post the Studio is pleased to present just such a set, made recently for an American customer. The vestments were constructed from an ivory-coloured brocade and fully-lined in taffeta of a muted green colour. These vestments are ornamented with an ecclesiastical brocade in colours of green and gold, which is outlined with a galloon in colours of black and gold.
The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.
These vestments are a variation on 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-made imitations!
