(There is no point in including a maniple when 80% of our clients don't require one). Moreover, any article (vestments, woodwork, marble etc) can be made to any design and frequently are made to clients exact specification. It is difficult to be all things to all people all the time - we can only try!<br />Mrs P Ormsby<br />DIRECTOR<br />ORMSBY OF SCARISBRICK LTDOrmsby'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032148011010820258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-82646458092064442892009-11-16T10:07:01.872+00:002009-11-16T10:07:01.872+00:00Vestments too heavy?

Some priests should try working outdoors for twenty years in all weathers, eight hours a day, wearing heavy clothing and wellingtons (and still often ending the day wet through). Then they might have some reason to complain.McMillannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-75439236941239748172009-11-15T22:38:32.099+00:002009-11-15T22:38:32.099+00:00There are some on ebay too from Poland and India t...There are some on ebay too from Poland and India though not as attractive as the ones on the Austrian or Polish sites. <br /><br />It was a beautiful requiem Mass - a fitting send off for an 87 year old lady who had told our priest only last year that she was excited for the beginning of her eternal life.enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-20947219586143055052009-11-15T22:21:42.101+00:002009-11-15T22:21:42.101+00:00Simon, maybe they are not so heavy after all.

Some vestments I bought for a parish where I no longer say Mass ( semi-Gothic made of a brocade) have been rejected by the current clergy on the ground, among other things, that they are too heavy.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-82775768139001987562009-11-15T22:18:49.715+00:002009-11-15T22:18:49.715+00:00Em thanks for the link. they are more the kind of ...Em thanks for the link. they are more the kind of thing I like.

You can see a selection of Roman style chausubles under the heading "Kasel Roemisch". There are some beautiful ones. I like the Marienkasel und "aus violettem Damast". <br />You can also see a full range of other vestments by clicking on the links on the left - helpfully organized in colours. There are some lovely Kasel fuer Marienfeste but be warned, some of the other Messgewaender are pretty grim.... <br />They will deliver to anywhere in the EU free if you spend more than 250 euros and if you don't spend that much it is 12 euros for postage and packing. <br /><br />I couldn't find anything like the black cope that my priest was wearing at a funeral on Saturday. He wore this to accompany the body and mourners from the chapel in the graveyard into church, then changed into ordinary vestments and changed back again into the cope to process out to the graveyard. <br />It wasn't like any funeral I have attended in the UK!Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-28204405032133350562009-11-15T21:27:42.194+00:002009-11-15T21:27:42.194+00:00Heavy?

Let me show you what colourful attire there is available for horses nowadays. I am attempting to attach two photos and when I find the picture of horse pyjamas that I saw recently I will send that too. You can tell whoever it may concern that the average horse is better provided for in terms of vestments than are you!<br />Some hours later.... Unfortunately I couldn't work out how to attach photos to a comment (grrrr!!!!) but look at www.rideaway.co.uk and see turnout rugs, stable rugs and under rugs.
