The cassock is an ankle-length garment worn by Christian clergy in various denominations that originated from ancient Roman and Greek tunics. It is traditionally worn under vestments during religious services. In the past, it was also commonly worn as everyday dress by clergy but is now less common except during services. Modern cassocks are generally made of polyester blend fabrics and come in various styles and colors with buttons, shoulder capes, and trim colors that vary by denomination and preferences. They are provided by companies like PSG Vestments located in Houston, Texas.
1. CASSOCK - PSG VESTMENTS
The cassock, or soutane, is an item of Christian clerical clothing used by the
clergy of Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican and Reformed
churches, among others. "Ankle-length garment" is the literal meaning of the
corresponding Latin term, vestis talaris. It is related to habit traditionally
worn by nuns, monks, and friars.
The cassock derives historically from the tunic that in ancient Rome was
worn underneath the toga and the chiton that was worn beneath the himation
in ancient Greece. In religious services, it has traditionally been worn
underneath vestments, such as the alb.
In the West, the cassock is little used today except for religious services; but
in many countries it was the normal everyday wear of the clergy until the
second half of the 20th century, when it was replaced even in those countries
by a conventional suit, distinguished from lay dress by being generally black
and by incorporating a clerical collar.
