Black Clergy Bib with White Collar, in 100% Cotton
Our most-reviewed clergy bib combines a rounded black front, a short yoke over the shoulders and a white collar included. Made from 100% cotton, it closes with three press snaps down the back and is worn over a plain undershirt beneath a cassock, alb or jacket. The result looks exactly like a black clergy shirt with a white collar, yet weighs a fraction as much.
How It Looks When Worn
From the front, a band of white collar sits above a smooth black panel that curves down to mid-chest. From behind, the black yoke covers the top of the back and shoulders, with the snap closure running down the center. Under any outer layer, only the black front and white collar are seen, so the bib passes for a full shirt.
Why Clergy Choose a Bib
- Cooler: no sleeves or body, so far less heat under vestments.
- Faster: snap it on over a T-shirt and you are ready in moments.
- Cheaper to keep: fewer full shirts to buy, wash and iron.
- Compact: folds flat for travel, retreats and hospital visits.
100% Cotton Comfort
Pure cotton breathes and stays soft against the neck through long liturgies. It washes well and presses crisply, so the front keeps a neat, matte black finish.
Sizes and Price
Whatever your collar size, from 14 to 22 in half-size steps, the price is $29.99. The right size is simply the one printed in the shirts you already wear.

Clergy Bib FAQs
What is a clergy bib?
A clergy bib is a partial black shirt front with a white clerical collar, worn under a cassock, alb or jacket. It shows the same black front and white collar as a clergy shirt but covers only the chest and shoulders, so it is cooler and quicker to wear.
How do you put on a clergy bib?
Start with a simple undershirt or tee. Rest the clergy bib on your shoulders so the black front lies on your chest, then close the three snap buttons at the back. Put your cassock, alb or jacket on top, leaving the white collar visible.
Does the clergy bib come with a collar?
Yes. A white collar is part of the package, so the bib arrives ready to wear with nothing else to buy. The collar sits above the black front and the bib closes with three snaps at the back.
What fabric is this clergy bib made of?
The bib is woven from 100% cotton. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, which helps during long services, and it washes and presses well to keep a crisp black finish.
What neck sizes and price is the clergy bib?
This clergy bib is cut for collar sizes 14 through 22, half sizes included, and costs $29.99 whichever you pick. Use the same size as your everyday shirts.
