Our Collection

Robes of Distinction

Browse our bespoke ceremonial robes, each crafted to the highest standards of Bavarian tailoring.

Why the cloth behind a robe matters

More than a garment —
the material defines comfort, presence and longevity.

A robe is worn when decisions are made, degrees are conferred
and faith is visible. The fabric it is cut from must support
these moments — not distract from them.

Noble fibres, engineered for ceremony

We start with the finest Merino wool, luxurious silk and precious cashmere. Every cloth is specified in detail – micron fineness, weight, weave and finish.

Comfort under lights, robes in motion

Our fabrics are woven to regulate temperature, wick moisture and recover quickly from creasing – even during long sittings or processions.

Tailored to judicial, academic and clerical roles

Each fabric line is developed for a specific context: sharper silhouettes for judicial robes, flowing movement for academic gowns, gravity and drape for clerical vestments.

Trusted where decisions and degrees are made

TIMELESS | bespoken fabrics are chosen for robes worn by federal judges, constitutional courts, deans and bishops around the world.

TIMELESS | bespoken signature fabrics

Our own ceremonial cloths

We have developed a family of proprietary fabrics
that represent the majority of all TIMELESS | bespoken robes.

Designed and specified by us.
Woven by leading European mills.
Finished to our exact standards.

Silver Wool fabric swatch
TIMELESS | bespoken

Silver Wool

Ultralight Merino softness for understated authority.

Silver Wool is our signature Merino cloth — a refined twill with an almost liquid drape. At approximately 150 g/m², it weighs significantly less than traditional robe fabrics. The result: a cloth that moves naturally with the body, not against it.

Ideal for long sittings, processions, ceremonies under lights.

Gold Silk

Our richest, most luminous ceremonial cloth.

Working with the world's most respected mills

Scabal

Loro Piana
Quarona, Italy · Since 1924

The world's foremost purveyor of cashmere. Holders of the world record for the finest spun wool fibre: 11.8 microns — thinner than a human hair by a factor of seven.
