The Season Per Annum 2025 : 22

In this post, we are pleased to present another set of green vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

The set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade with figured Crosses and quatrefoils in a bright shade green upon a black background.  This gives the set the appearance of a quite dark green. The vestments are lined in a brighter shade of green taffeta.

The ornament is in the English style and is formed from an orphrey braid in colours of straw-gold upon red.  This braid, named Welby, is one of the unique braids of the Saint Bede Studio and is derived from the designs of the Gothic Revivalist, A.W.N. Pugin.  

The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.

For this post, we are pleased to present a set of green vestments, made in the traditional Roman style.  The vestments were made from a beautiful green brocade and fully-lined in a muted shade of gold taffeta.  The chasuble in this post is ornamented in the well-known Roman style, a TAU at the front and a column at the back.  These are formed from a simple galloon, being an outline.  

 

The chasuble is 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-made imitations!

In this post is illustrated a set of green vestments in a design now familiar to readers of the Saint Bede Studio blog.

There is a difference in this particular set of vestments, since they are made from a vibrant shade of green brocade.  

The Gothic-style ornament is formed from the Studio's Saint Chad orphrey braid, which is based on braid designed by the Gothic Revival luminary AWN Pugin.  A galloon of red and gold finishes-off the vestments nicely. 

These vestments are in one of our Gothic Revival styles which we call Saint Benet.  The chasuble and accessories were lined in a muted shade of gold taffeta.

In this post is depicted a dalmatic in a lovely shade of green ecclesiastical brocade.  In this instance, the choice was made to ornament the dalmatic with a galloon in colours of burgundy and gold.  

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.

For this post, we are pleased to present a set of green vestments, made in the traditional Roman style.  The vestments are made from a beautiful green dupion silk and fully-lined in a deep shade of crimson taffeta.  The chasuble in this post is ornamented in the Roman style, formed by a geometric brocade in old gold and burgundy and an outlining burgundy and gold galloon. 

The chasuble is in the Studio's Borromeon 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!

In this post is depicted a set of vestments in a subtle shade of green brocade and ornamented with the Studio's Sancte Deus orphrey braid.  This braid is in the distinctive colours of deep blue and ivory upon a green background. 

This set of vestments is distinct from the Studio usual offerings.  The chasuble is unlined, but sturdily faced on the inside of the neckline.  The ornament is in the form of a TAU, arranged with braid.  Although it was designed as a concelebration set, nothing would prevent its use on ferial days.

The vestments in this post were made from an ecclesiastical brocade in a muted shade of green and fully-lined in crimson-red taffeta.  The Saint Bede Studio has made such vestments on many occasions now and also matching dalmatics.  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 image, you can see how carefully the green medallions of this braid are arranged.  

In this instance, the chasuble is worn with an apparel in the mediaeval style, using the same orphrey braid and forming a collar attached to the amice, not to the chasuble.

In this season Per Annum the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present another set of green vestments, in the style we call Borromeon.  The prominent feature of such vestments is the use of the TAU as the ornament of the chasuble front.

This set is constructed from handmade dupion silk in a darker shade of olive green, and it is lined in a lovely shade of burgundy taffeta. The ornament is formed from a brocade in colours of red upon gold, which is arranged in columns and outlined in a narrow galloon.  

At the Saint Bede Studio, we strive to avoid the idea that the designation Ordinary Time is a reason to make green vestments which are non-descript, or lacking in inspiration. This is a beautiful and distinctive set of vestments; we believe there is nothing "ordinary" about it.

In this Season Per Annum, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present a glimpse of another set of green vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

This set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade in a beautiful shade of green, and it is lined in a shade of lemon taffeta. 

The ornament is formed from matching braids, one wider, one narrow, in colours of crimson and straw-gold upon a green background. This is one of the Studio's unique braids called Saint Edmund and is directly based on a design by AWN Pugin.  It features the sacred monogram " IHS ".

In this post, we are pleased to present a further glimpse of a set of green vestments, in the 16th century Roman style.

This set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade in a bright shade green and is lined in a delightful shade of taffeta which might be described as "Peacock Blue". 

The ornament is in the Roman style consisting of a TAU on the front of the chasuble and Cross on the back.  This ornament is formed from a shade of blue silk (matching the colour of the lining), outlined in a narrow galloon in colour of black and straw-gold.  

This beautiful and distinctive set of vestments was commissioned by a Catholic Cathedral in the USA.

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!

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.

In this post is shewn a simple set of green vestments orna-mented with a column at the front and the back.  The columns are decorated with one of the Studio's unique braids Sancte Deus in colours of Royal blue and ivory upon a green background.  

This set of vestments is in the style we have called Saint Anselm; it is not elaborate, but neither is it just thrown-together.  It is well-designed and of dignified appearance.  Note that the column is made from a green-coloured dupion silk, which complements the colour of the braid.  We also find that the column is not of exaggerated width, but of substantial appearance.  The shape of the neckline, coming to a shallow "V" at the front, but rounded at the back is elegant but sturdy and lacking the awful fold over collars which are all-too-frequently attached to chasubles.

There is much to be said for vestments of simple dignity.  These vestments are well-made and will be serviceable for a number of years if treated respectfully.
