Handmade clergy stoles · Advent 2026

Advent is 6 weeks away. We can have your stole ready in one to two weeks.

We cut, embroider and sew every stole after you order it — nothing ships from a shelf. Order now and yours will be ready well before the first Sunday of the season.

Order in time for Advent

Today is October 15, 2026, and Advent begins November 29 — about 6 weeks from now. Your stole takes one to two weeks to make, plus a few days in the mail, so order by November 8 and there is room for all of it, including any last changes to your personalization.

Advent is blue in some traditions and purple in others. Holy Cloaks makes stoles in both, so order in whichever color your parish keeps.

Shop by season color

What do the colors mean?

Stoles are grouped by fabric color, so you can find your season — and your tradition — at a glance.

What the congregation doesn’t see

Handcrafted since 2001

The outside of a stole is what the congregation sees from the pew. The lining is what the person wearing it carries — a name, a verse, a place to keep what matters, and a small reminder sewn in where only they know it’s there.

The inside of a blue stole under an embroidery machine, a name, a verse and the year stitched in cream thread.

The lining

Every stole is embroidered inside with up to 18 words of your choosing: a name, a verse, an ordination date, a memorial or dedication. Whether the stole is for you or a gift, the personalization is yours.

The hidden pocket

A pocket sewn into the lining holds a microphone, an index card, announcement notes, a tissue, or a small memento. Carried, not seen.

Made one at a time

Your stole is cut, sewn and finished after you order it, one at a time, for the person who will wear it.

The mustard seed

“If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20. A real mustard seed is sewn into every stole we make.

We make every stole after you order it, not before.

Tell us the season, the colors and the personalization that should go inside, and we’ll build it around them. Most orders are ready to ship in one to two weeks.
