Details

About this vestment

Custom and made to measure

An ivory gothic chasuble for the Epiphany, cut from ivory satin woven with a pomegranate damask and set with burgundy velvet orphreys. The embroidery, in gold-coloured thread, tells the story of the Magi: the star that led them, the crowns of the three kings, and the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

01

The embroidery

On the back, a Y-shaped velvet orphrey carries three crowns across the yoke, one for each king, with a large eight-pointed comet star at the centre trailing its tail down the column. Beneath the star, three roundels framed in gold scrollwork hold the gifts: a treasure chest for gold, a censer for frankincense and a jar for myrrh.

The front column repeats the theme: the comet star at the collar, a single crown below it, and roundels of the gifts set between gold scrolls. Each orphrey is edged in gold-coloured braid, and the neckline and hem are bound to match.

02

Liturgical use

Ivory belongs to the white class. This chasuble is made first for the Solemnity of the Epiphany and the days around it, and it is equally at home through the whole Christmas season, from Christmas Day to the Baptism of the Lord. Because it is white-class, it is also correct on any day that calls for white or gold.

03

Cut and construction

Full gothic cut, wide across the shoulders and falling in a deep curve over the arms, with no fastening. The body is ivory satin with a woven pomegranate damask; the orphreys are burgundy velvet with the embroidery stitched into the velvet and edged in gold-coloured braid.

04

Care

Dry clean only. Tell the cleaner the vestment carries velvet orphreys with dense metallic embroidery, so they must not be pressed flat.

  • Velvet crushes where it is folded. Hang on a broad padded hanger and never fold across the orphrey.
  • Ivory yellows and deep burgundy fades in strong light. Keep it in a closed garment bag away from daylight.
  • Lift the velvet pile with light steam held away from the cloth rather than pressing it.

FAQs

Before you order

Should I choose a standard size or Made to Measure?

A standard size chosen by height suits most priests. Use the size guide on this page and take the row your height falls in.

Choose Made to Measure if you fall outside those ranges, want a particular hem length, or are buying a gift and know the wearer's measurements. Enter the measurements on this page before adding to cart. Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large.

How should I care for an embroidered satin chasuble?

Dry clean only. Tell the cleaner the vestment carries dense metallic and coloured embroidery, so the orphrey must not be pressed flat.

  • Hang the chasuble on a broad padded hanger and never fold it across the embroidered panel.
  • Light colours yellow and deep colours fade in strong light, so keep it in a closed garment bag away from daylight.
  • Release creases with light steam held away from the cloth rather than an iron.
How long will delivery take, and will I pay duties?

Orders are dispatched within 5–7 business days. Standard delivery then takes an estimated 10–15 business days to the United States and up to 21 business days elsewhere; a faster Rush option is offered at checkout.

We pay duties and import taxes on orders to the US, UK and Europe. For other countries, local customs charges may apply on arrival. If you need the chasuble for a particular date, write to support@theclergycouture.com before ordering.
