{"product_id":"navy-rainbow-wing-eagle-stole","title":"Navy Blue Ordination Stole with Naturalistic Eagle and Rainbow Wing Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single large eagle spans both panels of this navy stole, its wings and body rendered in careful naturalistic detail on one side and in a full rainbow gradient on the other - two very different treatments of the same bird, meeting at the centre seam. It can be tailored to your own length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead across both panels together, the eagle is worked with one wing in tan, cream, brown and blue thread that follows a real eagle's feather pattern, and the other wing in a bright rainbow gradient running from purple through blue, green, yellow, orange to red at the tip. The bird's head, body and gold-outlined talons continue the naturalistic side, and a small olive branch sits beneath the talons near the base of the design. The title of this piece nods to Isaiah 40:31, \"they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles\" - a text long used at ordinations and installations to speak of strength renewed for ministry. The rainbow wing is a deliberate departure from a strictly naturalistic eagle, and reads as a contemporary, inclusive variation on that same verse rather than as a separate symbol. There is no fringe; the edges are finished plain with gold piping, and the back panels are left undecorated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNavy blue is not a Roman Rite colour. Where blue is used liturgically at all, it is generally a lighter Sarum or Advent blue in some Anglican parishes, or a Marian blue by custom in Catholic use for feasts of Our Lady; this stole's navy is neither of those, and is best understood as a special-occasion colour rather than a calendar one. That suits its design: this is an ordination and installation piece, not a stole tied to a Sunday in the church year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut as a presbyteral stole for a pastor, minister or priest, it is built for a single significant day - ordination, installation, or another special service - rather than for regular rotation through the liturgical seasons. Its scale and detail suit a wearer who wants a stole that reads as a statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm) end to end over the shoulders, with any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in priced the same as standard. Beyond 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. The height box on this page will suggest a length once you enter your height, though you can enter your own figure instead; the length, height and any notes you give travel through to your cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse it with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blue-vestments\"\u003eblue vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ordination-gifts\"\u003eordination gifts\u003c\/a\u003e, the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stole\u003c\/a\u003e range, or read our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/liturgical-colour-guide\"\u003eliturgical colour guide\u003c\/a\u003e on how blue is used across traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382776668395,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-STD","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382776701163,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M120","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408864911595,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M125","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408864944363,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M130","price":208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408864977131,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M135","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408865009899,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M140","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408865042667,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M145","price":238.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408865075435,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M150","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408865108203,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M155","price":258.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408865140971,"sku":"TCC-STL-NVY-EAG-056-M160","price":268.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/navy-rainbow-wing-eagle-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952628","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/navy-rainbow-wing-eagle-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
