Options for Subdeacons Vestments

There are two options for subdeacons vestments:

1.Purchase deacon's vestments as a set. If you prefer, I can cut the cuffs for your file, which will save you $65-85, depending on the fabric and galloon. Price will depending on fabric and galloon.

2.Purchase an unlined altar servers sticharion and a server's/subdeacon's orarion. This sticharion is simplified from a deacon's sticharion, has a 6” cross on the back, is unlined, and has double banks of galloon at the hem and sleeves. There is no elaborate cross on the back and no galloon or buttons around the perimeter of the garment. The orarion is 4” (deacons oraria are 5” wide), is finished with 3 crosses instead of 7, and has no double bank of galloon and no fringe. Pricing is $275 for one subdeacons sticharion (this price is higher than ordering altar servers sticharia because there is a quantity discount already worked into the altar servers sticharion price) and $195 for the subdeacons orarion.

For Option #1, I will swatch brocades the same as for deacons vestments. For Option #2, I do not provide fabric swatches, please choose from the fabrics shown on the Altar Servers Robes page and submit the order via the online ordering form from the home page.
