CASSOCK

• The cassock is a type of ankle-length vestment
  that is similar in shape to a robe. During
  services, it is worn under other vestments such
  as the alb. Cassocks are worn by select members
  of the clergy and the colour of the cassock may
  vary depending on the occasion for which it is
  worn. While the cassock used to be considered
  everyday wear for members of the clergy, modern
  church members typically only wear a cassock
  during worship services. Some styles include a
  liturgical colour.

• 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.
