Clergy Stoles

Our white, purple, red, and olive green satin clergy stoles feature gold Latin crosses embroidered on both sides and 4-inch gold rayon chainette fringe. These styles list a total length of 92 inches, a width of 4¼ inches, and a narrower neckline measuring 1¾ inches at the midpoint. Compare the measurements with your existing vestments before ordering.

Choir Stoles

Long choir stoles with crosses offer a coordinated look in colors including white, black, red, purple, royal blue, navy, green, and gold. These satin styles list full lining, pointed ends, and measurements of approximately 31 inches long by 5 inches wide on each side.

For a shorter silhouette, compare V-neck choir stoles with or without a cross. Selected listings specify a 6-inch front V panel and a 14.5-inch back panel, with satin, matte fabric, or a combination depending on the design. The white Sing Praise to the Lord choir stole offers embroidered gold wording, an embroidered cross, and weighted tips.

Deacon Stoles

White, red, purple, and green deacon styles list smooth woven matte fabric, full lining, reinforced stitching, an embroidered front cross, and back cords to help hold the stole in place. These listings specify 110 inches in total length. A baptismal deacon design with an embroidered baptism symbol is also included. Select vestments appropriate to your ministry and follow your church's wearing instructions.

Baptismal Stoles

Compare adult and child baptismal stoles featuring an embroidered patch with a cross, shell, and water. The adult satin style lists each side as 31 by 5 inches, while the child style lists each side as 25 by 3.5 inches. A child's baptismal pinafore provides a different pull-over shape, and the reversible baptism-to-wedding stole offers embroidered symbols on opposite sides.

Confirmation Stoles and Sashes

Confirmation designs include descending-dove motifs and Come Holy Spirit wording, with different fabrics, lengths, and decoration methods across the listings. Ask your parish or ceremony coordinator whether a stole or sash is permitted for participants before purchasing. A product's name does not establish that it is appropriate for every denomination or confirmation ceremony.

Choosing Church Stole Colors and Materials

Liturgical colors and the use of stoles differ among denominations, congregations, seasons, and services. Confirm the required color and garment with your church rather than relying on a universal color guide. For choir orders, also consider how the stole will coordinate with robes and other garments.

Materials and decoration vary across this collection. Some styles use bridal satin, others use matte fabric or felt, and details may be embroidered or printed. Read the individual product's specifications instead of assuming every religious stole has the same construction.

Planning a Choir or Church Group Order

Agree on the style, color, decoration, and measurements before collecting quantities. Separate adult and child requirements, and share the date of your service, rehearsal, or portrait session when discussing an order. Allow time for processing and shipping.

Religious Stole FAQs

What is the difference between a clergy stole and a choir stole?

They are intended for different roles and may differ in shape, length, and decoration. The satin clergy styles described here list 92-inch total lengths and fringe, while the long choir styles list 31 inches on each side and pointed ends. V-neck choir styles have a shorter panel design. Follow your church's guidance for the appropriate garment.

Are religious stoles all the same size?

No. Clergy, deacon, long choir, V-neck choir, adult baptismal, and child baptismal designs have different measurements. Compare the exact product dimensions with the wearer and the garments it will be worn over.

Are all crosses and designs embroidered?

No. Selected clergy, deacon, choir, and baptismal designs specify embroidery, while some confirmation designs use printing. Check the selected listing for its decoration method.

Can confirmation participants wear a stole?

Practices vary, and some churches reserve stoles for ordained ministers. Confirm the approved attire with your parish or ceremony coordinator before choosing a confirmation stole or sash.

Can I add a church name or other personalization?

Do not assume extra wording or artwork is included with a ready-designed product. Contact our team to confirm whether the requested personalization is available for your chosen garment, along with any quantity requirements and production timing.
