We have been speaking a lot these past few days of makers of bespoke vestments, and Watts & Co. of London are certainly one of the makers who offer such vestments, but today I wanted to focus on two other of their offerings, the first being a embroidered cope. The cope is in a high gothic revival style that includes a beautiful IHS monogram and sunburst embroidery on its hood. This sort of work represents the very heights of what the gothic revival can be and could be.

The next offering I wanted to show today is a five piece set done in the Borromean cut utilizing a very fine green and gold brocade. The orphreys are designed in classic Italian style and the overall effect of the vestment is extremely pleasing.
