Stole length guide

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.

Details

About this stole

The White and Gold Epiphany Stole tells the Epiphany story down each panel: a gold Star of Bethlehem at the top, then a crowned treasure chest, a blue jewelled censer trailing smoke, and a covered urn, all linked by one flowing gold line, ending near the hem in the silhouette of a camel caravan.

Design and symbolism

Where many gold-on-white stoles keep to a single thread colour, this one is worked in a full palette: royal blue for the censer, burgundy and green for the urn, brown shading in the caravan, gold for the star, chest and connecting line. The sequence follows the gifts tradition gives to the Magi, gold, frankincense and myrrh, shown here as a crowned chest of coins, a smoking censer and a covered vessel, rather than as three robed kings. The camel caravan at the base of the design stands for the journey they made. The wavy gold line reads almost like a path across the panel, tying five separate motifs into one continuous journey rather than a set of isolated emblems. No cross or emblem is worked at the neckline; the design begins with the star itself.

Liturgical use

White and gold is worn for the Feast of the Epiphany, on 6 January or the Sunday appointed for it, and through the Christmastide services around it. It is not a stole for the violet weeks of Advent that precede it, nor for Lent or a funeral Mass, both of which take a different colour.

Who it is for

Cut for a priest, pastor or minister taking the Epiphany liturgy, in the presbyteral style worn straight down both shoulders. Its narrative design also suits a parish that wants a stole to preach from in a Twelfth Night homily.

Length and fit

Standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over the shoulders. A made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in costs the same as standard; beyond 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. Enter a height in the box on this page for a suggested length, or give us your own. Your length, height and any notes carry through to the cart, checkout and order.

Care

Dry clean only. The multicolour thread work, in blue, burgundy, green and gold, should not be risked in a home wash or dryer.

Store rolled rather than folded, and keep away from direct sunlight, which fades coloured thread faster than gold-only work. Press from the reverse on a low setting; avoid pressing directly over the censer and urn motifs, where the stitching sits highest.

FAQs

Before you order

Are the Three Kings shown as figures on this stole?

No. The design shows their traditional gifts, gold in a crowned chest, frankincense in a censer, myrrh in a covered urn, along with a camel caravan silhouette, rather than embroidered figures of the kings themselves. The gifts and the journey carry the Epiphany story here.

Is this stole worn during Advent?

No. It is designed for the Feast of the Epiphany and the Christmastide services around it, not for Advent, which is a separate, penitential season with its own colour in most traditions, typically violet or Sarum blue.

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.
