What is the turn around time?
Up until August 2019, The Tailored Stole often accommodated very fast turn-arounds.
At this time, however, stoles are being made in limited quantity and require appointment reservations. You may request a Stole Slot Reservation here.
Do you make custom designs?
Yes! We love taking your ideas and turning them into stoles you love.
Custom work is accepted within the discretion of The Tailored Stole, and all designs created by The Tailored Stole may be sold again unless otherwise agreed upon.
How can I stay in the loop?
The best way to stay informed is to join The Tailored Stole email group. This is the premier group that receives new announcements first, along with information about additional Stole Slot availability.
What is the difference between the Classic Cut and The Tailored Stole Signature Cut?
The Tailored Stole Signature Cut was created by Andrea Farley after interviews with priests. A common complaint was of the stole either cutting into the back of the neck or creeping up the neck. Some priests also noted the challenge of stoles shifting side-to-side. The Tailored Stole Signature Cut is an attempt to address these challenges. The top portion of the neck cut has been narrowed to allow it to lay flat on the wearer's upper back without cutting into or creeping up the neck. It also reduces the chance of side-to-side shifting as it fits snugly around the shoulders rather than perching on the top of the shoulders. This cut looks good on men and women alike, and both men and women have reported it feeling more comfortable and secure.
The Classic Cut is a wider, more traditional stole cut. It has a curved neck cut that "stands up" against the back of the neck -- a good choice if there is a desire for embellishment (such as a cross embroidery) on that portion of the stole.
