Vestments A recent remark about the dress sense of papal candidates caused me to wonder about the flouncy white thing - I think perhaps it is an alb. More about vestments. People get pretty serious about vestments. This Anglican lady is, well, zealous about preservation. There are scores of retailers and designers of clerical garb: at the big Koinè show this year the focus is on chasubles. Some noteworthy entries
  • just looked at those chausables. wow, ponchos are big everywhere now.
  • Fascinating as always, thanks Pleg.
  • Knew almost nothing about these, Pleggers -- I gether storing them can be a problem. Thanks for an interesting post on an offbeat topic.
