*[[Hood]] - originally a short cape with a hood, worn by those who have taken a degree as part of choir dress (for public prayers of the Hours) in English use.
*[[Tabard]] - a waistcoat without sides or sleeves, worn as part of the monastic habit.
*[[Tippet]] - a long scarf worn at choir office over hood and surplice, a component part of the hood. Those worn by a priest will be black and generally very wide. A special form worn by Readers will be thin and of a blue material. This is not authorized for usage in the Antiochian [[Western Rite Vicariate]], but is used by the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia|ROCOR ]] Western Rite.
*[[Surplice]] - loose over-garment of white linen, sometimes gathered at the neck, with wide sleeves. It evolved early on in Northwestern Europe from the Classical [[alb]], which it substituted. Counter-Reformation Roman style will generally be shorter, may be all lace or hemmed with wide bands of lace. The Medieval style (also called Old English, Anglican, Benedictine, or Cathedral style) is without lace, much longer with very wide (pointed or rounded) sleeves.
