Bishops

Watts & Co. is proud to supply Bishops with all the clerical wear, vestments, and metalware they may need. Whether you are preparing for your instalment as Bishop, or simply need some new pieces, our team would be delighted to assist.

 

Vestments

All our vestments are made by expert craftspeople using the finest materials. We offer a range of options for your new cope and mitre which you can explore below.

We can also design fully bespoke vestments, which are handmade in our showroom using our exclusive fabrics and trims; just get in contact and we'd be thrilled to begin the design process.

Mitres

All of our Mitres are custom made to your head measurement.

  • Simple

    A simple mitre is made entirely without ornament - usually made with plain white silk or linen - and can be trimmed with either red or white fringe on the lappets. It is typically used at funerals, Lent, and Good Friday.

  • Gold

    Gold Mitres are worn by Bishops presiding over the celebration of the sacraments. They are typically made with a plain cloth of gold, or white silk with contrasting orphreys.

  • Precious

    Precious Mitres are to be worn for the principal Mass on the most solemn Sundays (excluding Lent) and feast days. They are usually gold and adorned with ornament such as gems and embroidery.
