    The monasteries sell tonias and batrashels, and they are pretty good quality. I got a custom tonia from one of the monasteries but my family from Egypt helped me out with that one, as in putting in the order beforehand. I also bought a standard batrachel from there and it's pretty nice.

    If you visit Anba Roweis in Cairo (at the new Cathedral of St. Mark, Abbasia) there is a division in one of the buildings (it's named after a saint, but I'm afraid it's slipped my mind) that make custom tonias and the like. We visited them last year and got a few done for the church's girl's choir. Just ask around when you get there and you'll be directed to them.

    So it is in the Cathedrals building? Like around the surrounding?

    Do you think they do custom batrashels too? And did you have to place an order, if so how long did it take?

  • joegjoeg
    It is within the Cathedral grounds: Anba Roweis is a big place, you have the Clerical college and few smaller churches and other organisations located there, as well as the Cathedral itself.

    I don't know about custom batrashels, sorry man. And yeah, we asked them to do about half a dozen custom tonias and it was down within a couple of days and for a very reasonable price. Very efficient.

    Does anyone know where a custom tonia and batrasheel can be made in California of the USA to look like CIA's?

    Wait why is your girl's choir wearing tonias?

    And anywhere in the USA that makes tonias that ships?

    Yes. Or a place that makes tonias and I can somehow figure out how to get it shipped. Thanks.
  • kyrillos123
    Yes me too. If they can make custom batrashels, I'd love to know the details!

    Try Sts. Peter & Paul COC in Santa Monica, CA. I know the church made all the acolytes the same 'batrashel.' Maybe they can make custom ones for individuals as well. . .
