The Roman Look for Altar Servers
This Roman altar server cassock pairs a long red cassock, finished with a stand collar, with a Roman-style surplice in our photos. That surplice has a flat square yoke, deep pleats falling front and back, and long wide sleeves that reach almost to the wrist, a crisper line than a gathered surplice.
Fabrics
The red cassock is cut from tropical suiting, a breathable fabric that resists wrinkles. The surplice is white poly cotton, which keeps its pleats sharp and washes easily.
What the Photos Show
- Red stand collar showing above the square yoke
- Pleats running from yoke to hem
- Long, wide surplice sleeves over red cuffs
- Ankle-length red cassock beneath
