The Russian undercassock just arrived, and it’s perfect!!! Tagor loves the little cross embroidered in the collar. I was nervous about getting the measurements right, but apparently I did, the fit really is custom, it couldn’t be better. Well worth the wait! Thank you so much.

I ordered a custom made Russian cassock and vest made from Italian wool. The craftsmenship was of the highest quality. I was so pleased that I ordered a custom made winter vest in Italian wool to compliment my set. I also order two other Russian cassocks standard-size (1 gray and 1 black) in shirt cotton for easy wash and wear as well as two gray vest (summer-winter) and two black vests (summer-wineter) also in cotton.

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.

We are so thankful to God for the installation of our new altar, a milestone event in the history of our Holy Parish. Our new altar is hand carved in Russia by the premier Orthodox Christian company producing. We are thankful to Istok, of Canada, our Orthodox Liturgical company and contact that worked so diligently with us to help us order this custom built altar from Russia.
