Ecru Priest Stole with IHS and Slender Leafy Vines

Ecru Priest Stole with IHS and Slender Leafy Vines. Gold-coloured IHS lettering appears high on both sides, above narrow vines with small leaves. The foliage follows an elongated, slightly curving line, leaving the ecru ground open around the embroidery. This arrangement uses less densely filled ornament than broad floral panels. The straight lower ends and small neck cross preserve a simple outline around the vertical decoration.

Embroidery and fabric

Fabric specified for this model: Smooth fabric, 100% polyester. Supplied in a presentation box with transparent window.

Liturgical use and selection

A priest wears the stole around the neck with both ends hanging at the front; at Mass it is worn over the alb and beneath the chasuble. Choose the colour according to the celebration and applicable liturgical norms.

Ecru is a warm light shade to compare with white or cream vestments for celebrations using white. The photographs help assess the difference from a bright white fabric; the embroidery does not determine the liturgical colour by itself.

Compare the motif placement and the shape of the ends with the vestments already used in your church. Check the measurements listed below against a well-fitting stole; a model’s height or a close-up photograph is not a reliable size guide.

Care and storage

After use, hang the stole or lay it flat, avoiding firm folds through embroidered areas. Keep it dry and protect the decoration from pressure and snagging. Follow the care label supplied with the garment for cleaning and ironing; fibre content alone does not establish a safe washing method.
