*[[Pectoral cross]]: In much of Slavic Orthodoxy, the pectoral cross is the sign of a priest; a plain silvertone (usually pewter) cross is common to most priests, especially of the Russian tradition; the gold and jeweled pectoral crosses are given as awards to clergy; the highest award that can be given to a priest is a second pectoral cross (i.e., the priest may wear two pectoral crosses). In Greek practice, the pectoral cross is awarded only when a priest is elevated to the rank of [[archpriest|Oikonomos]], and there is no distinction made between various levels of crosses.
*[[Skouphos]]/skufiya/skoufia/skouphia/skoupho: a soft-sided cap, may be peaked (Russian style) [http://oag.ru/images/icon/20030416-200136-Father_Alexey_s2.jpg] or flat (Greek style).
*[[KalymavhionKalymavchion]]/kamalavki/kalimafi/kameloukion/kamelaukion: a stiff hat, may be cylindrial with flattened conical brim at the top (Greek style, for married priests) [http://www.nikitatailor.com/shop/products/big/pNF4EKB.jpg], flared and flat at the top (Russian style) [http://www.nikitatailor.com/shop/products/big/pf1IKUy.jpg], or cylindrical and flat at the top (Serbian style)
'''Note''': Some of these may be worn during the course of liturgical services
*[[Skouphos]]/skufiya/skoufia/skouphia/skoupho: see above. In Greek monastic practise, may also be hard and flat (Greek style, in services) [http://www.holytransfigurationmonastery.com/clothing/images/large/hscoufo_l.jpg] or soft (Greek style, out of services) [http://www.holytransfigurationmonastery.com/clothing/images/large/scoufo_t.jpg]. Worn by monastics out of services.
*[[Veil]] (Koukoulion): A black piece of material that comes down the back of a monastic, and has two thin strips coming off the side. [http://www.holytransfigurationmonastery.com/clothing/images/large/koukouli.jpg]
*[[EpikalymavhionEpanokalymavchion]] or Epanokameloukion: In Greek practise, the veil is placed on top of a kalymavhionkalymavchion, but is not attached to it. Worn by Greek-practise monastics in services.*[[Klobuk]]: a veil attached to a kalymavhion kalymavchion with a veil that extends over the back, the standard in Slavic practise. Worn by Slav-practise monastics in services.
**Slavic metropolitans wear a white klobuk [http://www.oca.org/Images/HolySynod/portraits/met.theo.jpg], with Archbishops having a cross on their klobuk [http://ocaphoto.oca.org/filetmp/2005/May/1001/Detail/DSC_0002.jpg]; Greek bishops generally do not have these distinctions.
*[[Zone]]: cloth belt worn over the epitrachelion
*[[Phelonion]] - large conical sleeveless garment worn over all other vestments, with the front largely cut away to facilitate the priest's movements
*[[Nabedrennik]]: from the Slavic traditions; a stiffened square cloth worn on the left side via a long loop of cloth placed over the right shoulder (if the epigonation/palitsa has also been awarded, it the nabedrennik is worn on the left side); this is a clergy award, so it is not worn by all priests
*[[Epigonation]]/Palitsa: like the nabedrennik, except it is diamond-shaped and always worn on the right side (loop over the left shoulder); also a clergy award; in Byzantine practice, denotes a priest blessed to hear confessions
*[[Miter]]: not like the Roman miter, it is very much like a crown, and is adorned with icons; this is a clergy award for priests in the Russian tradition; the priestly mitre does not have a cross on its top; Russian practice allows the award of the mitre to nonmonastic clergy
