Introducing the Chaplain Stole Collection: Designed for Ministry in Every Setting

At Carrot Top Studio, we understand that ministry often takes place beyond the pulpit. Chaplains serve in hospitals, hospices, military bases, campuses, and countless other spaces where compassion meets need and faith meets real life. Our new Chaplain Stole Collection was created with these sacred, everyday moments in mind—honoring the quiet strength and adaptability required of chaplains in every calling.

Designed with Purpose and Care

Each stole in the collection features a straight neckline (without the traditional curve) and a slightly longer, triangular back tip—a design chosen for comfort, flexibility, and a polished appearance in a variety of settings. These thoughtful details allow the stoles to rest neatly over uniforms, blazers, or robes, ensuring that the stole complements, rather than complicates, the work of ministry.

Green, white and purple short stoles for campus, hospital and hospice chaplains.

A Symbol of Presence and Peace

Chaplains embody the ministry of presence—meeting people where they are, often in moments of vulnerability. The colors and textures of our chaplain stoles reflect that calling. From white stoles symbolizing peace and new beginnings, to green stoles representing hope and renewal, and purple stoles for reflection and healing, each design carries its own story.

These stoles are simple yet deeply symbolic, allowing the focus to remain on the chaplain’s compassionate work while still creating a meaningful visual connection to faith.

Finding the Right Fit

Choosing the right stole length ensures comfort and a professional fit for any ministry setting. At Carrot Top Studio, we measure from the back center of the neck down one side—not doubled—to help you find your perfect fit. Here are more detailed instructions and visuals.
