I was quite taken with this custom-designed green solemn vestment set (click image to enlarge) from Watts & Co in London. I say that if you are going to shell out the cash for Watts, you might as well get green, which will have the most face time during the liturgical year. This is the description:
Cut in the Spanish style from green Bellini Damask, this vestment set is richly hand embroidered with a design based on sixteenth century Spanish originals.
Dear Father, You can see them in person if you are ever in Newport, Rhode Island. They're holding up well despite the frequent use at the Zabriskie Memorial Church of Saint John the Evangelist. Blessings, N.J.A. Humphrey+, Vicar
