A wrap-around amice is a modern take on the traditional amice. Instead of long ties, it wraps around the neck and fastens with an adjustable Velcro closure. This Holy Clergy design has a crossed-over front that recreates the classic look of a tied amice, a fully lined construction, and a smooth, rounded drape at the back that sits neatly under the alb.

The Velcro closure lets you vest quickly and adjust the fit exactly to your neck, without crossing and tying long strings. It holds firmly in place during processions, preaching, and kneeling, so the amice does not slip or loosen. It is particularly convenient for clergy who celebrate several services in one day or who prefer a simpler routine before Mass.

The crossed-over front is designed to sit beneath the alb’s neckline, giving a neat white layer that covers your shirt collar and everyday clothing. Depending on the alb’s neckline, a small, clean edge of the amice may be visible, which is traditional and expected. Choosing the correct neck size between 14 and 22 inches helps the amice lie flat without bunching.

Yes. It is made from cotton-rich fabric, which is soft and breathable against the skin. Cotton absorbs moisture, helping keep you comfortable during long or summer services, and the amice helps protect your alb and outer vestments from perspiration. The full lining adds structure and smoothness without making it heavy, so it remains comfortable throughout extended liturgies and celebrations. It is a comfortable choice all year round.

Before washing, fasten the Velcro closed so the hook side does not catch on the fabric or other garments. Wash on a gentle cycle in cool or warm water with mild detergent, ideally with other whites. Hang it to dry or tumble dry on low. Press with a warm iron if needed, avoiding direct heat on the Velcro strip so it continues to grip securely.
