Wij meten de lengte van de albe zelf, niet van de persoon. Wij gebruiken de lengte A-B, van aan de kraag tot net boven de hiel. Als vuistregel kan men zeggen dat A-B de lichaamslengte van een volwassene is, min 30 cm.
Een albe kan ook op maat worden gemaakt. Wanneer alleen de lengte moet worden aangepast, rekenen we een supplement aan van €22,50. Wanneer de albe volledig op maat moet worden gemaakt, en we dus speciale patronen moeten maken, is het supplement € 75,00. In dat geval moet de klant een fiche invullen met alle maten.

It was developped for curtains, that is why it is fire retardant, but the Trevira GmbH has agreed to weave exclusive fabrics designed by Dirk Slabbinck for our company. The fact that the fabric is fire-retardant is a welcome side-effect in case the priest gets too close to burning candles…
