Clergy Bib Stock with Pointed Front and White Collar
Our clergy bib stock is a black clerical front with a distinctive pointed, shield-shaped panel and a white collar included. The white collar stands above the black front, and the whole piece closes with a press snap behind the neck. Lightweight and quick to put on, it gives a traditional clerical look under a cassock, suit jacket or preaching robe.
What Is a Bib Stock?
A bib stock (or simply “stock”) is a short black front worn with a clerical collar, closely related to the rabat. Where a rabat is often longer and may be worn as a vest, a bib stock is compact, ending at the upper chest. Clergy in Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran and Catholic traditions wear stocks to show a white collar above black without the warmth of a full clergy shirt.
Shield-Shaped Front
The black panel tapers to a point at the center, following the V of a jacket or cassock opening. That shape fills the neckline neatly and avoids the boxy edges that can peek out from under lapels. Because the panel is short, it adds almost no bulk under vestments.
Snap Closure and Easy Care
One press of the snap behind the collar and the stock is on; there are no studs to thread. The fabric is light enough for all-day wear and can be machine washed or dry cleaned, so it stays sharp with little effort.
Sizes and Price
Every collar size from 14 to 22, half sizes too, sells for $29.99. Go by the size stitched into a shirt collar that never feels tight.

Clergy Bib Stock FAQs
What is a clergy bib stock?
A clergy bib stock is a compact black clerical front paired with a white collar and closed behind the neck. It sits under a cassock, jacket or robe so that the white collar and black front show at the neckline, giving the look of a clergy shirt with very little fabric.
What is the difference between a bib stock and a rabat?
The two are closely related. A bib stock is usually short, ending at the upper chest, while a rabat is often longer and may be cut as a vest. Both are black fronts worn with a white clerical collar under outer garments, and the names are sometimes used interchangeably.
Why does this bib stock have a pointed front?
The pointed, shield-shaped front follows the V opening of a jacket or cassock. It fills the neckline cleanly and keeps the edges hidden under lapels, which looks tidier than a square-cut panel and adds very little bulk.
Is a collar included with the clergy bib stock?
Yes. This clergy bib stock comes with a white collar, so it is ready to wear straight away. The collar stands above the black front, and a press snap at the nape holds everything closed.
How should I clean a clergy bib stock?
This bib stock can be machine washed or dry cleaned. In the machine, choose a delicate setting, wash it with other blacks and dry it on a hanger so the point stays sharp. A quick press restores a crisp edge.
