We tailor and sell to the general public, traditional, authentic monks, Friars and nuns habits of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Church traditions in the Benedictine, Franciscan, Dominican, Carmelite, Cistercian styles etc., Including monastic and medieval style capes and clergy cassocks.

We also tailor traditional monastic and clerical garments, Rasa and habits of the Orthodox Churches and Byzantine and other Eastern Rites as well as certain Byzantine and Latin/Western and Anglican liturgical vestments.

We can tailor and customize to your garment/habit specifications, and may be able to serve your special projects, events, ceremonies and monastic/religious profession ceremonies.

We offer generous volume discounts, "Two Day Discounts", Fall sale discounts, etc.

We Cannot fit them ALL in our web site.  Traditional, authentic monastic/religious habits are our speciality and focus.  Unfortunately, we can not fit all the habits, the almost 350 Pre-Vatican 11 nun's Orders, and almost 400 men's Orders of the Roman Catholic Church, habit photos in our web site and galleries.  But we show you many representative samples from the above religious Orders including some from the great Orthodox and Anglican monastic traditions.

"We don't make the Rules; We just make the habits."
