02Why the cloth behind a robe matters
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.
We start with the finest Merino wool, luxurious silk and precious cashmere. Every cloth is specified in detail – micron fineness, weight, weave and finish.
Our fabrics are woven to regulate temperature, wick moisture and recover quickly from creasing – even during long sittings or processions.
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.
TIMELESS | bespoken fabrics are chosen for robes worn by federal judges, constitutional courts, deans and bishops around the world.
TIMELESS | bespoken signature fabrics
We have developed a family of proprietary cloths that now account for more than eighty-five percent of all TIMELESS | bespoken robes. These fabrics are designed and specified by us, woven by leading European mills and finished to our exact standards.
Silver Wool is our signature Merino cloth – a refined twill with an almost liquid drape. At around 150 g/m², it is significantly lighter than traditional robe fabrics, allowing robes to move naturally with the body.
Gold Silk combines superfine Merino wool with silk to create the most opulent sheen in our collection. The surface catches light like water, making it the perfect choice for robes that will be photographed, filmed and admired.
Royal Regalia was developed for moments of particular solemnity – robes worn by senior judges, bishops and dignitaries at the most significant ceremonies.
In good company
For certain commissions, we also cut from cloths by the same mills that supply Savile Row, London's bespoke tailors and ceremonial dress houses across Europe.
Classic British Super 140's Merino suitings with smooth drape and timeless character.
Lightweight plain-weave Merino with strong crease recovery and a refined matte finish.
Ultrafine Merino and Merino–silk fabrics originally developed for ecclesiastical garments.
The Art of Bespoke
Each robe is handcrafted in our Bavarian workshop using time-honored techniques and precision craftsmanship.
Every robe is cut to your exact measurements using our detailed measurement form or in-person consultation.
Pure silk or jacquard lining as standard — for comfort and a luxurious feel against your skin.
Horn buttons, hand-finished seams, and bespoke embroidery — every detail crafted by hand.
Balanced and structured to move with you, not against you — even during long ceremonies.
