For the benefit of those among us who are connoisseurs of liturgical apparel, rescuers of period vestments, and similar, here are a few links.
If you want to get ahead, get a biretta at Domus Birettarum (a small selection shown below - please note the rather fetching pink, tartan and camouflage versions on the right :-) ).
Those with a recent lottery win, or similar windfall (but not quite enough for the purchase of a Minor Basilica), might like to visit Luzar Vestments - or just to admire some of the stuff he has in stock.

Wonderful Post, Matthaeus. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in the camouflaged Biretta. I did have one, previously, but I put it down in the garden and now I can't find it.
I will be contacting the Biretta company and requesting 1,500 Birettas for use in the Aldershot and Catterick areas.

Zephy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest in the camouflage birettas: you may also wish to consider completing your ensemble with a co-ordinating chasuble http://oursaviouracc.org/DanfordCamo.jpg - I am sure that other items such as tunicle, dalmatic, etc., could also be provided, or perhaps a camouflage mitre for the bishop who wants to keep a low profile? ;-)
O my Giddy Aunt !!!
ReplyDeleteThere ACTUALLY IS a Camouflaged Chasuble !!!
I can imagine RAF Chaplains, speaking into their microphone thingies: "Angels Twelve", etc.
