See our CHASUBLE BUYING GUIDE here...

The chasuble is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist in Western-tradition Christian Churches that use full vestments, primarily in the Roman Catholic Church, in the Anglican churches, and in some parts of the United Methodist Church. It is also used as the primary Eucharistic vestment in many Lutheran parishes. In the Eastern Churches of Byzantine Rite, the equivalent vestment is the phelonion.

"The vestment proper to the priest celebrant at Mass and other sacred actions directly connected with Mass is, unless otherwise indicated, the chasuble, worn over the alb and stole" (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 337). Like the stole, it is normally of the liturgical colour of the Mass being celebrated.

The chasuble originated as a sort of conical poncho, called in Latin a "casula" or "little house," that was the common outer traveling garment in the late Roman Empire. It was simply a roughly oval piece of cloth, with a round hole in the middle through which to pass the head, that fell below the knees on all sides. It had to be gathered up on the arms to allow the arms to be used freely.

We offer a large range of remarkably stylish, keenly priced vestments. Designed with practical, everyday use in mind, most of our vestments are lightweight and unlined (where applicable), and may be machine washed if desired.

Should you require linings to vestments - we can offer this!

We are able to offer all styles in all necklines - so for example if you liked a woven chasuble design but perhaps prefered a Gothic neckline to it - no problem!!

We can mix and match all styles and designs - just simply tell us how you want it!
