*[[Maniple]] - a small thin band of cloth worn on the left wrist by clergy (subdeacon, deacon, priest, and bishop) at liturgy. Its purpose was originally to wipe the chalice with.
*[[Miter]]- pointed cap with two peaks: front and back. Classified in later baroque Roman custom by three levels of decoration and costliness. Worn by bishops and abbots. Early English or medieval style very is short, made of felt, and slightly rounded with the peaks close togetherdecorated or undecorated linen; Roman style much taller, of rigid material, and with the peaks sharper and further apart.
*[[Orphrey]] - the gilded and embroidered bands of decoration on Western vestments, particularly the chasuble.
*[[Pallium]] - the narrow woolen stole granted to bishops of metropolitan rank and above in the Western church, and which denote their high authority. Derived from the himation, the Greek philosopher's mantle, also worn by ascetics in the early Church.
*[[Rochet]] - in the traditional style, refers to a floor length linen garment with a round yoke similar to an alb, but with close fitting sleeves, often tied at the cuffs. Also a flowing floor length linen garment with slits at the sides and sometimes over sleeves, worn by servers. In baroque Roman form a thigh length linen garment, more fitting than a surplice, similar to the alb but worn un-belted. Is generally gathered close around the neck and wrists. Lace around cuffs and bottom third.
*[[Stole]] - a narrow band of cloth worn about the neck hanging down, underneath the Eucharistic vestment. The method of wear denotes the office: straight down for bishop, crossed at the breast for priest, crossed at the side for deacon.
*[[Tunicle]] - a wide sleeved tunic, slit up the sides, generally smaller in scale than the dalmatic. Decorated with two vertical vertical bands (clavis) - normally worn by subdeacons at liturgy, can also be worn by the crucifer, thurifer, and clerk.
