My deacon's vestments are available in many fabrics and with many galloon choices. Greek-style deacon's vestments include fully lined sticharion, Greek-style orarion (orarion that loops over hip), and cuffs (my cuffs are custom-tailored to fit correctly and not "spin"). Russian-style deacon's vestments include fully lined sticharion with galloon "bib", Russian-style orarion (orarion that does not loop over hip) and cuffs (also custom-tailored). Prices are the same for Russian- style or Greek-style. All vestments are custom-tailored and come with a complimentary vestment cover for storage and travel.
There is a wide variety of fabrics and galloons. Rayon brocades are the least expensive, real-metal brocades the most expensive. If you have a particular budget in mind, I am happy to help you find a suitable fabric and galloon. Unique sets like those with inset velvet paneling or made from silk brocade are also available—if you don't see what you are looking for, please let me know.
My new hand-embroidered deacon's orarion features iconography designs by Dmitry Shkolnik and exquisite embroidery work done entirely by hand. The front and back feature the "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY" monogram along with cherubim and the middle section has an elaborate grapevine design. Introductory price (good through 2009) $795. Please allow 3 months for delivery. To view more of Dmitry's work, please visit www.shkolnikstudio.com.
