These are clothes for a life of practice, and every one of them is black. Each piece is made for you when you order it, and the line on its back comes word for word from a text in The Sacred Act’s library, with the text named, or is The Sacred Act’s own.

Made to order

Nothing is made until you order it, so nothing is wasted. Your piece is printed or embroidered within a week and ships straight to you.

Shipping

The words

A line from a source text is exact, taken from a public-domain translation that the product page names with its translator and year. The Sacred Act’s own lines are set in its wordmark and signed by it.
