SHOULD A PRIEST WEAR A STAINED GLASS WINDOW AS A CHASUBLE?

 Yes! If his church as no stained glass…

It's a bit cartoon-strip like for me however, to be fair, it's not bad overall. Remove the useless, floppy collar (I know....my opinion), it would be even better.

Our priests would wear something similar to the following for major feasts. This is Russian/Ukrainian Orthodox style with the high back/collar. Though some Byzantine Catholic priests vest in high back phelonians, most use the Greek style without the high collar (politics and Empress Elizabeth of Austria contributed to the Greek style becoming the standard for those who came to be called "Greek Catholics" - distinct from the Orthodox they came from). In this instance, the collar seamlessly transitions into the body of the vestment in addition to contributing to it retaining its shape.
