Over the last few years, I have seen an increasing need for low-cost altar boy robes
that do not compromise quality workmanship or quality materials. To meet this
need, I now offer several options for altar servers robes. All robes are sewn in a
traditional Greek style with galloon neck placket and double bands of galloon at the
sleeves and hem (please see photo below). They are all unlined which keeps the
cost down and the altar server cooler and more comfortable.
Each order is custom-tailored to your set of individual measurements and each robe
is then assigned a number tag which is sewn into the neck. You can then keep track
of which altar server has which robe (Gregory is robe #3, Michael is robe #7) and as
boys grow into larger sizes, you can then just re-assign the numbers (Gregory is now
robe #7, Michael is now robe #8).
To order, please choose a fabric (e-mail or phone me if you have trouble deciding
which fabric best suits your needs), fill out an altar server´s measurement sheet
(below) for each altar server´s robe, and e-mail or phone for payment
instructions. I require a 50% deposit for an order of altar server´s
robes.
Three fabrics are offered:
Poly-Shantung
Available in white, purple, burgundy, or royal blue, trimmed in gold rayon galloon
& gold cross
This is my most economical option. The fabric has a slight texture on the
right side and satin back on the wrong side. It is extremely durable.
If you need lots of robes at a very reasonable price, this would be the best
option. The burgundy is especially nice-looking.
Wheat and Crosses rayon brocade
temporarily unavailable
Available in solid white, white/gold, solid gold, purple/gold, red/gold, green/gold,
blue/white, trimmed with either white or gold rayon galloon & white or gold crosses
to match
This is a standard in many Orthodox churches and is excellent for matching existing
robes or ordering a new set of robes. It has a nice, simple, liturgical motif
without being too expensive.
New Gregory rayon brocade
Available in gold/white, solid white, gold/white/red, gold/gold/red, red/gold,
purple/gold, green/gold, blue/gold, trimmed with either white or gold rayon galloon
& white or gold crosses to match
This is the best choice for altar servers robes. It is an exceptionally
beautiful and durable liturgical brocade. By negotiating special discounts with my
suppliers, I am able to offer this $35/yd fabric for just slightly more than the Wheat
& Crosses robe. The colors are lovely, and I particularly like the
gold/gold/red or white/gold/red for every Sunday robes--the slight red accenting
provides a nice contrast and a very rich-looking robe.
