              Part of Westminster Menswear Archive
              Anglican Bishops cassock made of purple wool. It fastens at the right shoulder, with a single button, with the front edge following the curve of the neck. The inside edge fastens to the inside shoulder in the same place. The centre front edge is shifted over to fall in-line with the shoulder point. The waist line has a belt which closes at the centre front with two self covered buttons. The side seam has a long gusset, with a pleat in the centre back. The side seams are sewn until the waist point, where they open out to form a pleat which gives more volume to the lower body. The cassock is finished with off white top stitching. The inside is half lined in an off-white cotton lining with purple top stitching. Garment construction quality is low, using mixtures of qualities and colours of threads.
