Over at Rorate there is a very interesting entry about chasubles through history. I think you will find it instructive.
Here is a sample:
Note well: the "taglio filipino"
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

What is a good source of “taglio filipino” chasubles?
The Saint Bede Studio.
Look at the entry on my WebLog:
http://saintbedestudio.blogspot.com/2007/12/chasubles-of-16th-century.html
The linked picture is not visible here, so I’m not sure which chasuble you refer to (without looking at the source :-)
Fascinating article. Seems to have an anti Roman Chasuble agenda but fascinating anyhow.
I truly enjoyed this article, and I felt like I learned a great deal. Personally, so-called “Roman” chasubles aren’t really my cup of tea, just as “Gothic” ones might not be to others. I had heard before that the more ample form dates back farther, but it is good to have the evidence for this in the article.
I do have a question for Fr. Z and any priests reading this:
If and when you celebrate the extraordinary form, do you alternate between “Roman” or “Gothic” chasubles, and, if not, why not?
Photo does not show up.
Father Z,
Where do you get your chasubles from?
Greg: Some vestments were rescued from a dumpster at the seminary. Some were purchased in Rome. Some were gifts.
That was a fascinating history of the chasuble you pointed readers to – thank you. I am so glad those vestments were rescued and presumably are now being used by you. I have occasionally seen vestments on sale in European flea markets and always hope that they find a buyer who will pass them on for proper use.
PS Following publication this week of the ‘Catholic Herald’ we in Britain now know more about Fr Z!
