If you ever want a fabulous cassock at a low price then go to Poland and visit a clerical tailor shop in Kraków or Częstochowa and pay little for the highest quality.
but it must be longer!! Lovely image of the great John Paul II that reveals his socks in a cassock that should not be your size. His friendliness, simplicity and holiness are obvious.
Hi - when I was in Krakow earlier this year, I found the clerical shop just behind the Mariacki Church, and a tiny one staffed by an elderly nun a little way away - which others did you find?
I don't have any address, but at these old-school tailors you actually have to go to get measured there and then they air mail you the finished product.
Most of these beautiful pictures I've never seen before. Did you track them down when you were in Poland? You are to be commended for making them available. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteCould you give us any addresses of clerical tailors in Poland?
