Advantages of the Reversible Stole
Reversible stoles are a liturgical vestment offering several advantages over single-sided stoles.
It is a highly versatile priestly garment, as it allows for two liturgical colors in a single stole. This is especially useful for travel or situations with limited space.
Additionally, it is more economical than two stoles. Generally, buying a reversible stole is cheaper than purchasing two stoles of different liturgical colors.
