A half placket is a button opening that runs partway down the front rather than all the way to the hem. On this robe, the half placket has six fabric-covered buttons, giving a clean, tailored look while making it easy to slip the robe on over your head. Below the placket the robe falls smoothly to full length, creating a refined, uninterrupted silhouette.

The robe has two pleats at the front that release extra fabric when you walk, sit, kneel, or climb steps. This allows comfortable movement without the robe pulling or bunching, and it helps the garment drape gracefully as you move. The pleats also add structure and a formal tailored detail that looks polished in procession and from the pulpit. It suits formal ministry.

Yes. It features a half lining that extends to the waist for added comfort. The lining helps the robe slide on smoothly, feels pleasant against your shirt, and supports the shape of the upper body. Leaving the lower half unlined keeps the robe lighter and cooler, which is especially welcome during long services, warm weather, and busy ministry days. It also keeps its shape.

The robe is prepared with two side-opening pockets. These openings give you access to the pockets of the trousers you wear underneath, so you can reach keys, a phone, or a handkerchief without lifting the robe. This practical detail keeps the robe’s front clean and uncluttered while still letting you carry essentials during services and formal ministry functions. It is a simple, practical feature.

The robe is available in chest sizes 38 through 56, each in Short, Regular, and Long. Some larger sizes carry an additional twenty dollars to cover the extra fabric, which is shown when you select your size. Measure your chest over a shirt and choose the length that lets the hem fall near your ankle. Contact our team if you need help choosing.
