ORDO VELATUS CHAPEL CREWNECK

In the old orders, the chapel was not where the house prayed for the world. It was where it turned away from it. A small vaulted room, doors closed, hours counted in silence rather than in bells. The Chapel Crewneck is cut for that same withdrawal. Heavy through the body, close at the collar, the crest kept over the heart where only the wearer knows it is there.
