Holy rood is quite good, if a bit expensive.

The ironic thing is, what we nowadays often call the ‘Roman’ chasuble actually have its origins in Northern Europe and was even resisted in Rome for a time!

If I could add two chasubles more to your description:

The very full ‘conical’ (aka bell) chasuble.

‘Borromeon’-style chasubles, named after St. Charles Borromeo (who, complaining against shorter chasubles of his day, legislated that a chasuble should reach almost to the heels in length and be at least 51 inches wide). Somewhat midway between the ‘fiddleback’ and more fuller, ample forms.

Wow, thanks very much!

I love the look of the Roman Chasubles! I thought they were only used pre-vatican II in the Tridentine Mass!

My favorite OF priest prefers to use Roman Chasubles over the Gothic ones.

In case some posters did not notice, this thread is well over three-years old. You may be responding to an OP that is no longer a question. Thank you for trying.
