In the beginning was the Word
Small batch printed cotton clergy stole
The design:
The text on this stole is from John 1. The image shows part of the Elephant’s Trunk nebula (also known as IC1396A), located just 2,450 light years away. This nebula stretches over 100 light years across, and is a mere speck of God’s great creation. (Image PIA14103-orig.jpg courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA, public domain.)
The material:
The fabric for the front of the stole is printed in small batches by a small, US-based company that prints my designs onto high-quality 100% cotton material using eco-friendly, water-based pigment inks and dyes. It is lined with flannel for stability, and backed with a high-quality cotton material.
The stole:
This stole is made with a tapered neck, approximately 2 1/2" at the neck, 4 1/2" for most of the length. This stole is available in either 48", 52" or 55" in length, measured from the center back to the end of the stole. Not reversible.
The packaging:
Packaged in a flip-top box, ready for gift-giving.

Burlap and fabric stoles:
There is no hard and fast rule for how long a stole should be. It is a matter of personal preference. Some people like their stoles to reach just below their knees; others like them to be nearly as long as their robes.
Below is a chart of the APPROXIMATE length of stoles on people of various heights, bearing in mind that there is a lot of variability:
Height of wearer | Knee-length | Mid-calf | Quite long |
5'0"-5'4" | 42" | 46"-48" | 52" |
5'5"-5'8" | 46" | 50"-52" | 54" |
5'9"-5'11" | 48" | 52"-54" | 56" |
6'-6'4" | 50" | 54"-56" | 58" |
