Brat' piddiakone Borislave: Istok's vestments are Russian-made, although the business is in Calgary: http://www.istok.net/home.phpI have several deacon's sets from them and have been pleased. Getting them the measurements and making sure they are correct (english/metric, etc.) is important.

So far I have ordered all my cassocks from Nikita Borisov. I've been happy with His work. I also ordered this Deacon's Liturgical Vestment from Krista West http://www.kwvestments.com/images_deacons/images/deacons118.jpgI think I will order from Istok when I am ready for an Old Believer Cassock.

Yes, all of my cassocks except two are from Nikita and I have been very pleased with them. His full vestment sets are quite expensive, however, and as much as I would like to own some Istok has been much more reasonable in price.
I did order one gold and one red set from Liturgix.com which are made in Bulgaria, and both were very nice.

You can try Matushka Krista also. She makes nice stuff and is willing to do payment plans. http://www.kwvestments.com/index.html

I thought I had posted the link to Sofrino, but it seems to have disappeared. Let me try again... http://www.sofrino.ru

Double post deleted - Forum acting up.

I just checked the prices on sofrino.
Its REALLY overpriced IMO.
Nikita will beat those prices.

Well, Matthew, that description has also been applied to the Traditional Mass. It's all a matter of taste, really.
Personally, I love both, but I'm theologically more Western-minded and prefer the TLM over the DL (especially over Slavic DLs - just can't say I like the chants!), but certainly don't begrudge those, Latin and non-Latin alike, who prefer the DL!

Re: Sofrino, it varies. I agree - their cassocks are rather pricey, but other items are cheaper (excluding S&H). For example, Nikita's episcopal mantyas are $1,000/$1,300 60% Cotton - 40 Acetat; while Sofrino's moire silk mantyas are a bit under $1,200.
As with all things, best to shop around.
