We have tried to simplify the measuring process as we know it can be quite intimidating. We supply a chart which you can tape on the wall or doorway – 4 feet from the floor. Each member stands with their back to the chart. Simply place a ruler atop their head to the chart to obtain the correct height (in feet and inches). Next we need the chest measurement; this is obtained by putting a tape measure under the arms and around the fullest part of the chest. We have robe length options that you check on the measurement for that informs us if the robes are to be 8” from the floor, ankle or floor length.

There is an additional charge of $2.50 for floor length. Just a word of caution, be sure to consider if the members will be climbing up steps when determining robe length. The majority of our robes are tailored 8” from the floor; however ankle length is very popular.

The answer is yes, we can incorporate your logo onto the robe, stole, or paraments. We ask that you send a copy of the logo so that we can see how intricate it is. The next step is to have it put into a format that it compatible with our embroidery machine. We can inform you on the cost to do this and also the embroidery charge.
