Details

About this habit

A deep wine-red tunic, hood and sleeves are set off by a rust and cognac scapular front and back, gathered with a rope cincture. It is offered in standard size codes or tailored to your own measurements.

01

The cut

The body, hood and sleeves are cut in the same wine red, with no contrast between them, so the rust and cognac scapular stands as the single colour break, running the full length of the torso front and back. The pointed hood matches the body rather than the scapular. Sleeves are dropped at the shoulder and cut wide, in the same wine red as the tunic. A rope cincture is tied at the front, its knotted tail left hanging. The hem flares with a stepped under-layer showing beneath it, and there are no pockets.

02

Cloth and finish

This is a wool habit, brushed and matte with a heather texture, in a two-tone treatment: wine red for the body, hood and sleeves, and rust-cognac for the scapular, with no pattern or embroidery worked into either.

This habit is made in either cotton or wool, and the choice is yours on this page. Cotton is lighter and breathes in warm weather; wool is heavier and holds more body in the fall of the skirt. The photographs show the wool. The price changes as soon as you choose the cloth, and again with the size code.

03

Who wears it

A single body colour with a contrast scapular, matching hood and sleeves, and a rope cincture reads as a Franciscan-style silhouette, so we call it Franciscan in character; the wine and rust pairing is a colour choice of ours rather than any order's, and wine red carries no fixed liturgical meaning here. It suits monks, friars, oblates and lay people who want a deeper-toned habit than the more common black, grey or brown.

04

Size and fit

Fourteen graded sizes pair a chest range with a finished length: S 34-37 in, M 38-41 in, L 42-45 in, XL 46-49 in, 2XL 50-53 in, each in a robe length of 54, 56, 58, 60 or 62 in from the nape of the neck to the hem. A fifteenth option, Made to Measure, is priced the same as the L sizes. Nothing fastens at the front; the habit is pulled on over the head.

Compare this tone against our other habits in religious habits, read how wool dyes hold colour on the fabric guide, check your chest measurement on the measuring guide, or commission a custom vestment in a colourway of your own.

Care

This is a wool habit, so hand wash in cool water or use a gentle wool cycle, and dry flat away from direct heat.

Deep, saturated colours like this wine red can transfer when damp, so wash it separately from paler habits.

Iron on a low, wool-safe setting, and press the scapular from the reverse side.

FAQs

Before you order

Does the wine red colour have a liturgical meaning?

No. Wine red does not carry a fixed liturgical meaning the way violet or white can, so this colour is a choice of ours rather than one drawn from any order's dress. We offer it as a deeper-toned alternative to the more common black, grey and brown habits.

Why do the hood and sleeves match the body instead of the scapular?

On this habit the wine red runs through the body, hood and sleeves as one colour, and the rust and cognac scapular is the only contrast layer. It keeps the silhouette to two tones rather than three.

How do I choose my size code?

Each code pairs a chest range with a robe length. The letter is the chest: S is 34-37 in, M is 38-41 in, L is 42-45 in, XL is 46-49 in, 2XL is 50-53 in. The number is the finished robe length in inches, measured from the nape of the neck to the hem.

So a man with a 40 in chest at 5 ft 11 in takes M-58. Open the size guide on this page and read down to the row where your chest and height meet. If you are between two lengths, the longer one gives a fuller hem and the shorter one clears the floor more easily.

What if none of the size codes fits me?

Choose Made to Measure. The measurement fields appear as soon as you select it, and there is no separate made-to-measure charge: it is priced at the same step as the L sizes, in whichever cloth you choose.

It is the right choice if your chest and height fall in different rows, if you are outside the ranges given, if you want a particular hem length, or if you want the sleeves cut narrower or fuller than standard. We read every made-to-measure order and write to you if a figure looks unlikely.

How is the habit worn?

It goes on over the head and falls loose over whatever is worn underneath, so it needs no fastening at the front. The cincture ties at the waist and gathers the fullness; the hood sits back on the shoulders and is drawn up when wanted.

Where a habit has a scapular, that is the straight panel worn over the tunic, hanging front and back, and it goes on after the tunic and before the cincture.

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.
