OUTER CASSOCK (Gr. Exo-Rason or Exorasson; Sl. Ryassa or Riassa) - A long, floor-length garment, loosely fitting, with very large sleeves. Outer cassock is a non-liturgical robe worn by Orthodox clergy both as ordinary daily clothing (their out-of-doors and domestic distinct attire) and underneath "liturgical robes" (vestments which are worn during church services). The outer cassock symbolizes the expiration of a clergyman in this world, and his burial and subsequent dedication to God and the Heavenly Kingdom. Over the riassa the bishop wears a panagia and a cross, while a priest wears only a cross. Wearing the outer-cassock is common to bishops, priests, deacons, monks and nuns (permission to wear a cassock is often given to seminarians, monastic novices, sub-deacons and readers in parishes).
Description: This is a brand new Outer Cassock (Greek style) tailored in red blend of polyester and viscose that drapes beautifully and has deep color tones. Beautiful and long-lasting, it is good for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Tailoring features in this unlined clergy garment include:
- front side: functional button closure at collar only
- right and left slits down close to the feet for comfortable movement
- very large plain sleeves

When measuring, please wear the type of clothing usually you wear under the vestments (if any).

Cleaning & Care Instructions:
Polyester blend fabrics: DRY CLEANING recommended (see more options).
More options: To prevent any further shrinkage of the material, the fabric can be pre-washed and tumble-dried before sewing your clothing. After this procedure the clothing can be machine-washed at low temperatures (dry cleaning is not required). The surcharge for this additional fabric preparation is $9.95 (order here).
