FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What design features does this white rochet have?
This rochet has an elegant round neckline, a long back length, and long sleeves. Pleats run through both the front and back, giving fullness, structure, and graceful movement. The overall look is traditional and dignified, suited to bishops, priests, and senior clergy who wear the rochet over a cassock during ordinations, choir offices, and formal services throughout the church year.
Can I add a rochet bag to my order?
Yes. A rochet bag can be added for an additional ten dollars using the option on the listing. A dedicated bag keeps the white fabric clean and protected when traveling to other churches, conferences, or ordinations, and it helps prevent creasing and marks. It is especially useful for clergy who carry their vestments between multiple services or locations. Simply choose Yes at checkout.
Is this rochet easy to care for?
Yes. It is made from 100 percent polyester easy-care fabric that can be machine washed or dry cleaned. Polyester resists creasing, dries quickly, and keeps its bright white color with proper care. Wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, hang to dry, and press lightly if needed. Avoid chlorine bleach, which can yellow synthetic fabric over time. Hang it on a padded hanger.
What sizes does the white rochet come in?
The rochet is available in sizes from 38 Short to 56 Long. Measure your chest over the cassock you will wear beneath it and choose your size, then select the length based on your height. The rochet should fall gracefully over the cassock so that the cassock shows at the hem, and the sleeves should end comfortably at the wrist.
What does the white color of a rochet symbolize?
White symbolizes holiness, spiritual purity, and reverence. Worn over a cassock, the white rochet recalls the white garment of baptism and the call to serve with a clean heart. Its brightness also makes clergy clearly visible in procession and at the altar. This symbolism is why the rochet remains an essential part of choir dress for bishops and priests. It is timeless and meaningful.
