We would like to see samples of several different styles before making a selection. Does Murphy offer samples?
Your local Murphy dealer has choir robe and accessory samples in the store for you to look at and try on, along with catalogs and swatched fabric selectors. We offer so many different fabrics, styles, and color combinations, however, that it is impossible for any dealer to have a sample made up in every single combination - it would take a huge warehouse! Therefore we offer a sample service through our dealers. You can ask for a sample in the style or styles you are considering, plus larger swatches in the exact colors and fabrics you want - just ask. If that's not enough, you can order a custom sample made up in exactly the style, fabric and color combination you like. Ask your dealer for more information.

What can I do to extend the life of my judicial robe?
The point of greatest wear for most judicial robes is between the elbows and cuffs! So you could stop leaning forward at the bench, but with most judges that's not likely to happen. Seriously, we recommend hanging your robe in a closet between wearings on our contoured Robe Hanger #122, and schedule regular dry cleanings. It also helps to rotate wear between more than one robe. You would not wear the same shirt, pants, or skirt day after day, and expect them to last for 15-20 years. Robes benefit from a rest or rotation as well.
