"As soon as a new pope is elected, the requisite vestments must be immediately available to him, so that he can quickly put them on and step out onto the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square. However, since no one knows in advance who the new pope is-and, hence, what size he is-eccelestical tailors must make and supply the Vatican with three complete sets of vestments-one small, one medium, and one large-to assure that they have one on hand that will fit."
