This stole is a version of the Augustine stole from the Patron Saints Collection. It is named for St. Augustine of Hippo, patron saint of brewers and theologians. The Augustine of the Woods is made with two shades of Dupioni Silk, situated at opposing fabric grain patterns. The rich Forest Dupioni Silk has a horizontal grain direction while the bright Rose-Gold Dupioni Silk cross is cut with a vertical fabric grain.

The cross design extends all the way to the stole ends. The Augustine of the Woods is a beautiful reminder of the holy work of theology coupled with the ever-present need for that transcendence to always reach its way to Earth.

The Classic Deacon Stole is a beautifully cut stole that is 3” wide at the top and has ends that taper slightly to 4” wide. It sits smoothly on the shoulder and conforms easily to any shoulder size.

(Kindly note: I do not have a physical Augustine of the Woods Classic Deacon Stole to show yet, but please refer to the drawing to see what the design would look like. This is a re-imagined design based on the Priest Stole version of the Augustine.)
