Thank you for all of your help and constant replies to my emails. That was very helpful and I learned a few things about old solovki and St. Sergius Lavra vestments I didn\'t already know :) You know I definitely will be continuing my business with you for the future to come. Thank you all very much again and wishing you a blessed Nativity and Christ\'s blessings for a wonderful, happy, and fruitful New Year!

Dear Dimas and the staff of Istok, I would like to thank you for your absolutely wonderful work on my vestment. It is exactly how I hoped it would be. Every instruction was followed with my vestment and it turned out absolutely beautiful. I wanted to especially thank Dimas for his patience, kindness, and direct oversight of my order, I know I can be a pain the neck because I want everything perfect, but the vestment absolutely is 100% perfect and to my liking.

\" I recently ordered my Episcopate vestments for my consecration on Saint Thomas Sunday. They arrived today and as agreed and well before my consecration in April. The Quality of the vestments are outstanding, and the gifts of the chalice covers and vale is a wonderful. Everyone always asks where do you get your religious items and I reply Istok, their fair in pricing and on top of every order. May God\'s through the Holy Spirit Bless your hands and business for years to come. Alexios!
