Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...

Everyone will want one....

I have occasionally joked, (lovingly!) of the Thom Browne vibe one of the sartorially splendid leading lights of the Reform of the Reform movement gives off.

But he, like the majority of us in the CMAA, is at the aesthetic disadvantage of belonging to the laity - not for us the rose colored cope embroidered with gold, the collapsible travel biretta, or the blindingly beautiful silk damask humeral veil.

But it seems we can all have our own mozetta! it would not impede keyboard work in the least, and be no obstacle to most chant masters' chironomy. Oh yes, there are some with sweeping thetic gestures, but for the most part...
God bless Thom Browne. (Now, where to find the three thousand dollars or so...)
