My left foot in a purple sock.

One of my kids went to Rome and gave me a pair of sock - by #Gammarelli, the pope's official clothier. Not only are they very comfortable (The kid estimated my size perfectly.) - as a Roman-Catholic woman this is probably the closest I will get to major orders. Or kicking them. Great kid.

These papal tailors aren't expecting a traditional order for new cassocks to outfit the next pope - Sight Magazine The Vatican hasn't ordered a set of cassocks for the new head of the Catholic Church - at least from the two best-known papal tailors.

For over 200 years, Gammarelli has been the tailor of Popes—handcrafting vestments worn by history. From red socks to papal cassocks, it’s a legacy of Roman elegance and tradition.
