*[[Chasuble]] - the Eucharistic vestment, worn only by the celebrating priest (and at certain services in Lent, folded up at the shoulders, by Deacon and Subdeacon). Original form is the Conical, being a half-circle of cloth joined in the front. Later types were cut away at the sides and called Gothic. In the Renaissance, form was abbreviated extremely and stiffened, particularly for use in hot climes. The Gothic revival style is based upon the look of the Gothic (cutaway conical) when worn.
*[[Cincture]] - a belt, most commonly of rope, anciently of silk and decorated with jewels.
*[[Clavis]] - the gilded and embroidered bands of decoration found on the Western dalmatic and tunicle.
*[[Cope]] - a half-circle of cloth with a functional or non-functional hood, highly decorated. Clasped at the neck with a chain or rectangle of cloth called a 'morse'. Worn in processions, and by non-celebrating clergy during liturgy. Essentially identical in form to the Syriac 'phayno'.
*[[Crosier]] and Crook - pastoral staff in the form of a shepherd's crook, bears a cross. Normally used by bishops and abbots.
*[[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.
*[[Mitre]]- pointed cap with two peaks: front and back. Classified by three levels of decoration and costliness. Worn by bishops and abbots. English or Medieval style very short, Roman style much taller.
*[[Orphrey]] - the gilded and embroidered bands of decoration on Western vestments, particularly the chasuble.
*[[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 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. The method of wear denotes the office: straight down for bishop, crossed at the breast for priest, crossed at the side for deacon.
