Holy Clergy’s Full Collar Clergy Shirt with French Cuff
Not every clerical shirt needs to serve every occasion — but this one comes close. The Full Collar Clergy Shirt with French Cuff is built as a wardrobe staple for pastors, priests, and bishops who move between the pulpit, the altar, and formal church functions in the same week, and want one shirt that looks right at each stop.
Woven from a poly-cotton blend (65% polyester, 35% cotton), it stays breathable through long services while resisting the wrinkling that plain cotton can’t avoid. The full white neckband collar gives it a timeless, dignified look, and other collar styles — Roman, tab, or tonsure — can be added instead as an option if you prefer. French cuffs take cufflinks or silk knots for a more personalized, formal finish than a standard button cuff, while a hidden, concealed button placket and front chest pocket keep the overall line clean and unfussy.
Available from a 14 collar up to a 26 collar, with extra-fit sizing for 20 and above. Check the size chart below before ordering — collar fit especially benefits from an accurate neck measurement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I choose the right clergy shirt size?
Choosing the right clergy shirt size starts with taking accurate body measurements. Measure your neck, chest, shoulders, sleeve length, and waist, then compare them with the brand's clergy shirt size chart. A properly fitted clergy shirt ensures comfort, a polished appearance, and easy movement during ministry. If you're between sizes, consider your preferred fit and garment style. Holy Clergy provides detailed sizing guides to help you find the perfect fit with confidence.
How do I measure for a clergy shirt?
To measure for a clergy shirt, begin by measuring your neck where the clerical collar sits, followed by your chest at its fullest point. Next, measure your shoulder width, sleeve length from shoulder to wrist, and waist for the best overall fit. Accurate measurements help ensure comfort and a professional appearance. Holy Clergy offers easy-to-follow measurement guides for selecting the ideal clergy shirt size.
How should a clergy shirt fit?
A clergy shirt should fit comfortably across the shoulders, chest, and waist without feeling too tight or excessively loose. The sleeves should reach the wrists naturally, while the collar should fit securely without restricting movement or breathing. A well-fitted clergy shirt allows comfort during worship services, pastoral visits, and daily ministry. Holy Clergy designs clergy shirts with tailored fits that combine elegance, flexibility, and all-day comfort.
Are clergy shirts true to size?
Most clergy shirts are designed to follow standard sizing, but the exact fit can vary between manufacturers and shirt styles. Before purchasing, always compare your body measurements with the specific clergy shirt size chart provided by the brand. This helps ensure the best fit and reduces the likelihood of exchanges. Holy Clergy provides accurate sizing charts and detailed fit information to help every customer order with confidence.
Why is my clergy shirt too tight around the neck?
A clergy shirt may feel too tight around the neck if the collar size is smaller than your actual neck measurement or if measurements were taken incorrectly. Since the clerical collar sits close to the neck, precise sizing is essential for comfort. Measuring your neck accurately before ordering helps prevent discomfort. Holy Clergy offers detailed sizing guidance to ensure a comfortable and professional collar fit.
