{"product_id":"royal-purple-cassock-robe-silver-cross","title":"Royal Purple Clergy Cassock Robe with Silver Cross Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eA royal purple cassock robe with silver crosses embroidered on the chest panels, silver-fringed tassels and silver piping at the cuffs and hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe robe is a straight full-length cassock with a stand collar and a row of covered buttons down the centre front. A silver cross is embroidered on each front panel at chest height, and beneath each sits a silver-fringed band, so the ornament is carried on the robe itself rather than depending on a stole. Silver piping runs around each cuff and along the hem. Sleeves are long and straight. The back is plain with a centre vent through the skirt, and there is a flapped hip pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in cotton with a matte face. The purple is a deep royal violet rather than a blue-leaning shade, which is what keeps it correct alongside Lent and Advent paraments and gives it the weight expected of episcopal purple. Silver is the cooler counterpart to gold and sits more quietly against violet, which is why it suits a penitential season better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRobe only, or robe and stole\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Style dropdown decides what ships. Robe Only is the cassock as photographed, with its embroidered crosses and fringed bands. Robe + Stole adds a separate matching stole cut from the same cloth and worked in the same silver, and adds $80 at every size code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho wears it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurple is the colour of Advent and Lent across Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Methodist practice, and is also used for funerals in traditions that have moved away from black. Royal purple carries rank in several churches, so confirm your own tradition's convention if you serve under a bishop who reserves the shade. The robe is cut without insignia and is worn by priests, pastors and ministers as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe robe is cut to fourteen graded size codes, each pairing a chest measurement with a finished length. S covers a 34-37in chest, M 38-41in, L 42-45in, XL 46-49in and 2XL 50-53in; the number after the letter is the robe length in inches from the nape of the neck to the hem. Made to Measure is priced at the same step as the L sizes and cut to your own figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the full range in our \u003ca
