Design: repeating geometric motifs with diagonal woven detail

Purchase Options
- By the Yard: trim yardage in the width selected. A quantity of 1 orders 1 yard (36 inches).
- Swatch Sample: a short sample approximately 2 to 3 inches long, in the width selected, for checking color, texture and finish. A sample may not show the full design repeat.
To order trim yardage
Choose your Width, then select By the Yard under Size. Enter the number of yards you need. If you need both widths, add each one to your cart separately. Please contact us before ordering if your project requires one uninterrupted length.
To order a swatch
Choose your Width, then select Swatch Sample under Size. Add the sample to your cart and check out. The sample is a short piece of the braid, rather than trim yardage.
Ordering multiple swatches: If you order two or more swatches, we will fulfill the widths and quantities selected as swatches. Ordering several samples does not order trim yardage. Please order yardage separately using the By the Yard option.
Please review your selected width, purchase option and quantity before checkout. Swatch orders are final sale once processed. For complete ordering and fulfillment terms, see our return and refund policy and shipping policy.
Projects and possibilities
Use Becket along stole edges, around orphrey bands, or as an accent on chasubles, copes, chalice veils, burses and church banners. Its geometric design can also suit historical costume, ceremonial dress and decorative textile projects. The purple fabric in the photographs is a styling background and is sold separately.
Before you cut and sew
Lay the braid beside your chosen fabric to check the proportion. Measure each edge or band and allow extra for corners, joins, turned ends and matching the design. Baste the trim in place before stitching, and try your needle, thread and pressing method on an offcut first. Plan the care of the complete piece with its fabric, lining, braid and embroidery in mind.
Questions about Becket Trim
Which width should I choose?
The 1/2-inch width gives a slender outline or small accent. The 1-inch width makes a broader decorative band. Comparing a sample beside your fabric is a useful way to judge the scale.
Does ordering several swatches give me yardage?
No. Each swatch selection orders a short sample. To buy trim yardage, choose By the Yard and enter the number of yards required.
Can I use Becket for projects other than church vestments?
Yes. Consider it for historical costume, ceremonial garments and decorative sewing where the metallic finish suits the fabric and its care requirements.
