Title: Anglican Cassock - PSG Vestments (7)


1
Anglican Cassock for Priest and Bishop
2
Description
  • The Anglican church uses single and
    double-breasted cassocks. For many this is to
    indicate tradition (single-breasted in the
    Anglo-Catholic tradition and double-breasted in
    the evangelical end of the church).
  • The double-breasted cassock fastens at the
    shoulders on the opposing side of the breast and
    at the waist with one concealed button. The
    latter usually has a single small stem-button
    sewn at center front about 1215 cm / 4½6" below
    the center-front neck line which is used to
    secure the academic hood, worn for Choir Dress.
  • The single-breasted cassock worn by Anglicans
    traditionally has thirty-nine buttons as
    signifying the Thirty-Nine Articles. Cassocks are
    often worn without a cincture and some opt for a
    buckled belt.

Description
  • Black is the most common color for priests,
    readers and server cassocks. Lighter colors, such
    as white are used in tropical countries and some
    cathedrals have colors specific for their
    location. Piping is also used in the Anglican
    church to indicate position held with red being
    used for Deans, Archdeacons and Cathedral Canons.
    Bishops and Archbishops often wear purple
    cassocks. This has been practice since the 19th
    century. More recently the Archbishops have
    chosen to wear black. Scarlet cassocks are
    properly worn only by Chaplains to the Queen and
    by members of Royal foundations such as
    Westminster Abbey and some Cambridge college
    chapels.
  • Cassocks are sometimes also worn by readers,
    altar servers, and choir members, when they do
    this is the double-breasted style. Readers and
    altar servers usually wear black cassocks, but
    those worn by choirs are usually colored.
