The Desta Art. 257 Alb is an elegant Italian-made liturgical alb crafted from a comfortable 55% polyester / 45% wool blend and finished with ornate lace banding for a traditional ecclesiastical appearance.
Made in a classic ivory fabric, the alb features decorative lace at both the sleeves and lower hem, adding richness and detail while maintaining a clean, dignified overall design. The poly wool fabric combines the refined drape and feel of wool with the durability and easier care of polyester, making the Art. 257 well suited for regular parish use as well as solemn liturgical celebrations.
A front zipper allows the alb to be put on and removed easily while keeping the neckline neat when worn. The full-length cut and traditional styling make it appropriate for priests, deacons, and other clergy requiring a formal liturgical alb.
The Art. 257 Alb is also designed to coordinate with the matching Desta #257 Surplice, making it an excellent choice for clergy and parishes seeking a consistent vestment collection.

Poly Wool Fabric
The Art. 257 is made from a 55% polyester / 45% wool blend, offering an excellent balance between appearance, comfort, durability, and care.
The wool content provides a graceful drape and more traditional feel, while polyester helps improve durability and makes the fabric more practical for frequent liturgical use.
Ornate Lace Banding
Decorative lace banding at the cuffs and lower hem gives the Art. 257 its distinctive traditional appearance.
The lace provides an elegant accent without overwhelming the simplicity of the ivory fabric, allowing the alb to coordinate easily with both understated and highly decorated chasubles, dalmatics, and stoles.
Front Zipper
A discreet front zipper provides convenient entry and helps the alb maintain a clean, tailored neckline when worn.
