FAQ's and HowTo's
Is there a difference between men's and women's pulpit stoles?Your catalog and web site state that a custom tailored order takes 4 to 5 weeks plus shipping. We only need a few new robes to match our current robes for new choir members. Can we get them sooner?
Is there a difference between men's and women's pulpit stoles?
Theoretically speaking, no. However, pulpit stoles are not scaled to size, as are robes. So a very petite woman will perhaps be more comfortable wearing a smaller scaled stole than a larger stole. It's really up to the individual which style - a traditionally styled stole which tapers at the neckline and widens at the bottom, with fringe, or a more contemporary styled stole that is wider all the way down. Both are appropriate for men and women.

We would like to speed up our production cycle - and occasionally we can, however, the length of time it takes to get a custom order depends on several factors: seasonal demand, complexity of style, and completeness of information provided. Notice we did not include order size in that list. A small order can take almost as long to get through production as a large order, because it has to go through the same production steps. A single robe may go through 60 production steps before it is shipped - and an order of 100 identical robes will go through the same 60 steps. Some manufacturers take shortcuts and are able to produce robes in less time - but those robes may not have the quality of a Murphy robe. On average, an order takes 4 to 5 weeks production time, whether it is large or small. But if you need an order in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to ask - sometimes, we can speed things up.
