Who wants to wear a brown scapular that doesn't meet the requirements of actually being a brown scapular?

 

Well, rest assured, every single brown scapular made by Qui Minimo (and every scapular sold by Qui Minimo for that matter), meets 100% of the requirements. These scapulars have been not only looked over by priests, but are currently being worn by many priests and acclaimed as the most beautiful one they have ever worn.

 

The requirements for a brown scapular are:

1. Each side backed with 100% wool

2. Rectangular shape

3. Two pieces of wool on either side, either plain wool, or with some embroidered or printed image (most commonly you'll see Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the Infant Jesus, sometimes with Saint Simon Stock, or the Immaculate Heart of Mary, etc.). There is no specific image required for the brown scapular, as long as it is a religious image, generally of Our Lady and Our Lord.

 

And that's it, as far as requirements for how it is made. I would personally argue that, while it is not a requirement, that you and I buy our brown scapulars from meaningful and ethical sources as well. Again, not a requirement, but still important. See QUESTION TWO on the FAQs page for the requirements entailed in the devotion itself.
