This chimere is a fitted, coat-style garment that closes down the front with 33 buttons, rather than the traditional open-front sleeveless style. It features a stand-up collar, four front pleats, and two side pockets. It is designed to layer over a rochet and cassock as the fourth layer of choir attire, giving a modern, structured take on the chimere. This careful construction is part of what separates well-made clergy attire from costume pieces.

In Anglican-style choir attire, the cassock is worn first, then the rochet, then the chimere, and finally the tippet. This chimere is designed to layer perfectly over traditional rochets and cassocks as that essential fourth layer. The options let you add a red 33-button cassock and a white rochet at a discount to complete the outfit. This makes it a thoughtful option for personal use or as a gift for a minister.

Yes. When ordering, you can add a red 33-button cassock for $149.99, described as a saving of up to 30%, and a white rochet for $99.99, up to 20% off. Buying the pieces together ensures they coordinate in color and fit, and it is usually more economical than purchasing each item separately later. It reflects the dignity of ministry while remaining comfortable and practical to wear.

The chimere has red detachable cuffs secured with Velcro. You can adjust the cuffs for a comfortable fit at the wrist or remove them for cleaning. Detachable cuffs also help the chimere layer neatly over the rochet sleeves. Velcro makes adjustment quick, so you can vest easily before services. The result is a vestment that looks traditional, intentional, and appropriate for sacred settings.

Yes. The listing notes that a clergy tippet can be added for free. A tippet is a long black or colored scarf worn around the neck and hanging down the front over the chimere. Adding the tippet completes the formal choir dress outfit and gives the traditional appearance associated with Anglican and episcopal clergy. It is designed to serve faithfully through many years of worship and ministry.
