The Tradition of Papal Vestments: Inside Rome’s Historic Gammarelli Tailor Shop

[@MrOreoTheCat10]

Salutes to the tailors for show casing the classic traditional vestments on display.

[@Andy-hy1co]

Beautiful! I’ve wondered for some time now how these vestments are made and how they’ve changed over the years. Bring back the red shoes! 👞👞

[@peterdownie3901]

So important! Let's not worry about minor matters like children being slaughtered in Gaza, or the election of a convicted felon.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

"because there is a lot of competition?" "challenging to find good tailors and craftsman" that is the most casual way to say "were to good to have competition"

Pure art.

I agree! Can you imagine Jesus decked out in such pretentious rubbish?

[@SkellingtonKing1]

Great video.

[@Bellroysg]

They sell great over the calf socks too

[@karolvizone]

I would love to work there

[@paulharvey2396]

Please may I have a gift for the First Nation origin priests who serve Rome -- embroidery on the vestment to celebrate their First Nation heritage, a sign or symbol -- something beautiful for each First Nation family origin priest, who serves the Vatican. God bless Pope Francis with good health, prosperity, happiness and peace amen Forgive me if you already do this!

In this video I wasn't aware that there's a special tailor shop for the CATHOLIC Clergy in Italy, as I often wondered about it, but I have been to Italy once, year's ago to visit my girlfriend in Florence and I really enjoyed my visit, but the landlord was a doctor and I asked him, if he could get me a GRAY WOOL,PIN STRIPED TWO PIECE SUIT,and he said NO PROBLEM, but tailor's, take their Skill,very serious, from measuring you, fabric used,everything, and if you come to NYC, in MANHATTAN, those suits are in the SHOW CASES,in the front of the shop, displayed, for the general public, very impressive, until you find out the selling price, very, very, expensive, to rich for my blood. The only question I have is,what is the fabric used?

[@romeo9017]

Try finding it! It is in the middle of nowhere xx

[@ruthbaker633]

Not really, I used to walk past it all the time! Great shop

[@Stylographic]

Actually it’s just behind the Pantheon

[@Typ-oh57]

I would love to get a suit that fits me right

[@Typ-oh57]

I want to read the Books found in the 52 acres, the Book of my name sake would be nice.

[@douglasfox4894]

They must be disappointed that vestments now are no longer beautiful works of art. I saw some copes etc beautifully hand embroidered but now shut away. They were of the old Catholicism now sadly being replaced. Very sad.

[@douglasiles2024]

Jesus and His disciples were simple, humble men. So why should today's clergy be dressed in fancy garments? His message is what matters, not how His messengers are dressed.

[@jasonkoch3182]

If you're making religion about the clothes, then you have missed the point.

And clergy take a vow of poverty. 🤨

[@boomerang9967]

Maybe instead of wearing these extremely costly vestments, they could use the money to do some good. Spend it on the poor!!

[@carriemccarthy2069]

The Catholic Church is the largest Charatable Organization in the World. To the tune of 240 billion, yes, billion a year. We got it handled, and we can walk and chew gum at the same time!

[@peterdownie3901]

They would demonstrate devotion to God more effectively if the money was given to the poor and homeless.

[@jm08050]

The Anglicans know how to dress elegantly and properly for services. Sadly, Catholics have lost the art.

[@Pilgrim06]

@@jm08050 Fully agree

[@HarFin123]

Christ would be scandalized to learn how his disciples care about dressing themselves nowadays.

[@MichalMati]

You are talking like Christ was not alive and around. :-)

[@bustedkeaton]

​@@MichalMati uh, how? They said "would be." What about that implies he wasn't alive at one point? Even people that don't believe he was the son of God believe he was a real person.

[@MichalMati]

@@bustedkeaton That's exactly the point I made. The subjunctive used in the post implies He WAS alive at certain point, but is not alive now.

[@HarFin123]

Ok guys, I am more of the view of Christ as a historical person, but youtube is not really a venue for serious theological debates. Good thing I didn’t say “Christ would turn in his grave…” 🤣 I was raised Catholic by the way, but being raised and being convinced are two different things.

[@peterdownie3901]

I assume Jesus wore rich clothing like this???...

[@boomerang9967]

Very good point

[@Bigwave2003]

There's always the Franciscans in their robes and sandals.

[@MikeA15206]

They wear these vestments as a sign of devotion to God.

[@peterdownie3901]

More likely as a sign of their devotion to themselves

[@peterdownie3901]

Silly high camp

[@25kmgb]

The church continues to embrace vestments that dramatically separates clergy from celebrants! What a waste of the church’s resources at a time when there are so many people in need of clothing, food and shelter!

[@boomerang9967]

What a waste of money.

[@newtexan1]

I love this video. It makes me sad that our current “pope” is not Catholic but a communist.

@@WinstonSmithGPT There will always be Gamarellis among the clergy, but they don't need to flaunt it.

[@karlheven8328]

@@a.t.c.3862 Nothing about this is effeminate. Just because our culture associates beauty with gay culture does not mean it has to do with that.

[@jasonkoch3182]

These vestments developed out of the vestments that were worn by Roman emperors. You want to go tell Constantine or Justinian that they were "effeminate"?
