"BLUE ROBE OF HIGH PRIEST
COMPLETED BY TEMPLE INSTITUTE (PHOTO & MORE INFO)"
"The Temple Institute announces, with great joy
and reverence concerning the historical import of this momentous occasion,
the completion of the me'il techelet - the blue robe of the high priest.
The seventy two golden bells and seventy two pomegranates woven of blue,
purple, and scarlet wool have now been attached to the hem of the robe.
Thus concludes a three year effort. Tomorrow, the 14th day of the month
of Kislev, the month of the rededication of the second Holy Temple, the
me'il techelet will be delivered to the Temple Institute's Treasures of
the Temple exhibition in the old city of Jerusalem. There it will join
the already completed ephod and breastplate of the cohen gadol - the high
priest."

EXCERPT BELOW FROM THE ABOVE LINK:
"In the near future, the Institute plans to embark on
a major project: the production and supplying of the white garments of
the ordinary priests, for every male Jewish descendant of Aaron. Every
cohein, from all over the world, will be given the opportunity to register
and order his own uniform, so that he can be ready to serve in the rebuilt
Holy Temple. This is as great an expression of faith as can be expressed,
and is a positive step towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in our
time."
