Stole length guide

A stole is sized by one figure: its finished length, end to end over the shoulders. Our standard is 120 in, and any length up to 120 in costs the same.

How to measure a stole: A is one side, from the top of the neck to the end above the fringe; the finished length is A doubled

How to measure

  • A - One side: from the back of the neck, down the front to where the end should fall (knee to mid-calf). Double it for the finished length.

Overview

What this piece is

An ivory clergy stole with a stained-glass-style Tree of Life set inside an arch on each panel, above a glittering mosaic tile pattern in blue, green, gold and red.

The plain ivory above and below the arch leaves room to lengthen the stole without disturbing the design; for weddings and as an officiant or ordination gift.

Symbolism

The Tree of Life, rooted in a circular knot, recalls the tree of Genesis and Revelation; set as it is above a mosaic ground, it echoes the coloured floor and window work of a church interior.

Details

About this stole

This ivory clergy stole sets a stained-glass-style Tree of Life inside an arch on each panel, above a glittering mosaic ground, with plain ivory fabric left above and below. It can be tailored to your own length.

01

Design and symbolism

Rather than run the full drop of the stole, the design is confined to an arch-shaped section at the mid-panel: a gold trunk and roots curl into a circular knot at the base, rising into green leaf clusters touched with red, all rendered with hard black outlines in a stained-glass style. Beneath the tree, a mosaic of small tiles in blue, green, gold and red fills the lower part of the arch, catching the light with a faceted, glittering finish. The tree above and the mosaic below give the impression of a church window sitting over a tiled floor. The whole panel sits flat against the ivory ground rather than standing proud of it. Plain ivory fabric fills the space above and below the arch, and gold cord pipes the edges; there is no fringe.

02

Liturgical use

As an ivory stole it belongs to the white class, worn on the church's high days and, by long custom, at weddings regardless of season. Its plain sections and adjustable length make it easy to shorten or lengthen for a particular wearer without cutting into the motif, which is one reason couples and officiants order it for a wedding rather than a fixed feast.

03

Who it is for

A priest, pastor or minister officiating a wedding, or receiving this as an ordination gift, will get the most from the arch design, since the plain ivory above and below leaves visual room rather than crowding the whole panel with pattern.

04

Length and fit

Standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over both shoulders. Any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in is priced the same as standard; past 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, to a maximum of 160 in. Enter a height in the box above for a suggested length, which you may override; the length, height and any notes you confirm travel through to your cart, checkout and order.

06

Care

The arch panel on this stole has a glittering, faceted finish, which needs gentler handling than a plain fabric surface. Dry clean only.

  • Store rolled, not folded, so the arch panel is never creased along its own line
  • Avoid rubbing or folding directly over the mosaic tiles, so the sparkle finish does not dull
  • Keep out of direct sunlight; the plain ivory sections mark more readily than the patterned arch
  • Press from the reverse only, on a low setting, well clear of the arch panel

FAQs

Before you order

Why doesn't the tree design run the full length?

The design is set as a single arch-shaped panel at the middle of each front, rather than as a motif that runs from collar to hem. This leaves plain ivory fabric above and below the arch.

One benefit of that layout is that the stole is easy to lengthen or shorten to a specific height without cutting through the tree or mosaic design itself.

What gives the mosaic panel its sparkle?

The tiles beneath the tree have a faceted, glittering surface, in blue, green, gold and red, catching the light the way small mosaic tiles do.

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.
