Blue Clergy Tippet in Royal Blue
Our blue clergy tippet brings a clear royal blue to choir dress and preaching robes. It is a plain scarf, about 50 inches long, laid behind the collar so two straight bands of blue run down the front. Pick the 7″ width for a classic men’s look or the 5″ width for women, both at $34.99. The fabric is durable and easy to look after, and it is safe for the washing machine or the dry cleaner.
Where Blue Tippets Are Worn
In several Anglican dioceses, Readers and licensed lay ministers wear a blue tippet over cassock and surplice, distinguishing them from ordained clergy, who usually wear black. Other churches use royal blue for ministers, elders or chaplains, or simply as a calm color for everyday worship and Marian feasts.
Plain, Solid Design
There is no trim, fringe or embroidery: just an even royal blue from end to end. That simplicity keeps the tippet appropriate for daily prayer, preaching and choir services, and lets it pair easily with white surplices or black gowns.
Easy Care
Unlike many vestments, this tippet does not need professional cleaning. Machine wash it on a gentle cycle or have it dry cleaned, then hang it to dry and press lightly if needed.

Blue Clergy Tippet FAQs
What is a blue clergy tippet?
A blue clergy tippet is a long royal blue scarf vestment worn over a surplice, cassock or gown so its two ends frame the chest. It is commonly worn by Readers and lay ministers in some Anglican dioceses and by ministers in churches that use blue for their office.
Who wears a blue tippet?
In parts of the Anglican Communion, licensed Readers (lay ministers) wear blue tippets to set them apart from ordained clergy in black. Some other denominations give blue to elders, chaplains or ministers. Local custom decides who may wear it.
Can I machine wash the blue tippet?
Yes. Put the blue tippet through a gentle machine cycle, or send it to the dry cleaner. Let it air-dry, then iron lightly before the next service.
What robe goes with a royal blue tippet?
Royal blue looks especially clear over a white surplice or alb, and it also stands out well on a black cassock or preaching gown. Both combinations keep the blue as the focus.
Is the price the same for both widths?
Yes. The blue clergy tippet costs $34.99 whether you choose the 7-inch men’s width or the 5-inch women’s width. Both are about 50 inches long.
