Details

About this stole

The Harvest Stole is a priest's or pastor's stole in green velvet-look cloth, each panel bordered in gold galloon and embroidered the full length with a running sequence of small crosses, grapevine leaves and bundled wheat sheaves, gathered low on each panel around a gold cornucopia spilling fruit worked in several colours.

Design and symbolism

Both panels carry the same design. A column of small gold crosses runs from the yoke to the fringe, threaded through with grapevine leaves and wheat sheaves, and the gold cornucopia sits as the visual anchor near the base, its fruit picked out in more than one colour against the surrounding goldwork. Wheat and grapes are the oldest Eucharistic pairing in Christian embroidery, standing for the bread and wine of Communion; the cornucopia adds a harvest note of abundance that the wheat and grapes alone do not carry.

The reverse of the stole is a plain gold satin panel, visible only at the neck yoke when the stole is worn; from the front, the eye reads green velvet, gold thread and, at the ends, gold fringe.

Liturgical use

Green is the colour of Ordinary Time, the long uncounted weeks of the church year that fall outside Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, and this stole is built for the Sundays that make up that season. It also suits a Harvest Festival or Thanksgiving service, which many parishes keep within Ordinary Time and in green for that reason, though some traditions give the day its own festal colour instead - ask before assuming which your parish follows. It is not a stole for Lent or Advent, which call for violet, nor for Easter or Christmas, which call for white and gold.

Who it is for

A priest, pastor or minister presiding at Communion through the Sundays of Ordinary Time, or leading a harvest or thanksgiving service who wants the wheat and grapes to carry the theme without a note in the bulletin explaining it. It also makes a considered gift for a minister known for a rural or agricultural parish, or for a harvest-focused ordination.

Length and fit

Standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over both shoulders, and any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in costs the same as standard. Past 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. Enter a height on the product page and it will suggest a length; you can overwrite the suggestion, and whatever you enter travels through to your cart, checkout and order.

FAQs

Before you order

Is this stole right for a Harvest Festival service?

Yes, in most parishes. Green is the colour of Ordinary Time, and many congregations keep their Harvest Festival or Thanksgiving service within that season, in green, which is what this stole is designed for.

Some traditions instead give Harvest its own festal colour, such as white or gold, so it is worth checking your own parish's custom before you order if you plan to wear this specifically for that one service.

What does the cornucopia on this stole mean?

The cornucopia is a harvest and abundance motif rather than one of the fixed symbols of the church, such as the cross or the chalice. It reads alongside the wheat and grapes as a general sign of thanksgiving for the harvest.

The wheat and grapes carry the more specific meaning here, standing for the bread and wine of the Eucharist, which is why they run the full length of the panel while the cornucopia sits as a single motif near the base.

How long should my stole be?

Enter your height in the panel above and the page works it out: roughly 100 in for a wearer up to 5 ft 4 in, 104 in to 5 ft 8 in, 108 in to 6 ft, 112 in to 6 ft 4 in, and 116 in above that. Those figures follow the usual clergy proportion of 51, 53 and 55 inches per side.

It is a guide, not a rule. Some clergy like the ends at the knee and some at mid-calf, and a stole worn over a full alb hangs differently from one worn over a cassock. If you already know the length you like, type it in and ignore the suggestion.

Does a made-to-measure length cost extra?

Up to 120 in, no. Any finished length from 84 in to 120 in (213 to 305 cm) is available at the standard price. Past 120 in we add $10 for every 5 in, so 125 in is $10 more, 130 in is $20 more, and 160 in, the longest we offer, is $80 more.

The price on the page is the price you pay. Choose Made to Measure, type the length you want, and the band updates the price before you add to cart. We confirm every made-to-measure length by email. If you need longer than 160 in, write to support@theclergycouture.com and we will quote it.

Is this cut for a priest or for a deacon?

It is made in the presbyteral cut, worn straight down over both shoulders. That is the way a priest, a pastor or a minister wears a stole, and it is what the photographs on this page show.

A deacon wears the stole across the body, from the left shoulder to the right hip. If you need it made that way, choose Made to Measure and say so in the notes, or write to support@theclergycouture.com before ordering so we can confirm it for this design.

How should the stole be cared for?

We recommend professional dry cleaning for embroidered vestments. Store the stole flat or loosely rolled rather than folded, so no crease forms across the embroidery, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the gold thread. The Journal's vestment care guide covers pressing, storage and stain removal in full.
