Priest Neckband Black Clergy Shirt
Every service, ceremony, and quiet weekday visit asks something of what you wear — it needs to hold its shape through a long day, sit right under a collar, and look dignified without a second thought. The Priest Neckband Black Clergy Shirt is built for exactly that. Cut from a premium poly-cotton blend (65% polyester, 35% cotton), it gives you breathable comfort and lasting durability whether you’re leading Sunday worship, presiding at a wedding, or moving through a full week of pastoral duties.
The traditional neckband collar is designed as the base for inserting a full white clergy collar (sold separately), giving you a timeless, reverent silhouette. A concealed button placket keeps the front clean and formal, while the structured fit and left chest pocket add function without breaking the line. Deep black remains the standard for humility, authority, and spiritual dedication across clerical dress — this shirt wears that standard well.
Available from a 14 collar up to a 26 collar, with extra-fit sizing for 20 and above. Not sure of your size? Check the size chart below short description before ordering — every measurement point is marked to help you get an exact fit the first time.
