I will be ordained Deacon shortly and I am looking on buying my first clerical clothing (collars, clerical shirt, jacket)
Anyone have any tips?

Sure you'll get lots of good advice, but meanwhile this is rather snazzy although it might not fit and you might be looking for something more quotidian.

Does your college have a tat fair? What you need will vary by church as you won't need so much stuff if you are at a tshirts and shorts type of place as if you are in an any colour as long as it is black shack.
I got black shirts, cassock, cassock alb and surplice from the tat fair. I should have bought a preaching scarf and an academic hood but I didn't know I would need those until I turned up at the church and Taylors of Oxford were very good at getting them to me ASAP.
Some ordinands spent a fortune on artistic stoles but as you tend to wear the ones that the church has there is not much point unless you are awash with cash. It is worth checking which colour your diocese ordain in (white or red)before purchasing a stole for the ordination.

Augsburg Fortress in Kitchener has a good range of stuff for sharp looking new priestly types. Us presbyterians don't do much shopping there, but they are good, and if you shop in person, discounts sometimes appear magically.

Here's a tip that'll having the fashion police coming down on me like a ton of bricks, but it's based on over 20 years' experience. If you're going to wear a black clerical shirt, go for polyester/cotton rather than pure cotton. Even the best quality cotton shirts go from black to grey pretty quickly, and not in a nice "ooh look, I have a charcoal grey shirt" kind of way. They're also much more difficult to iron, and creases in black shirt fabric somehow seem to show up worse than in almost any other colour.

Okay, in reading this thread obviously my slang understanding is different. I thought you wanted a tattoo and help designing it, about which I thought "oh no!"

Happy thought! Not long ago I was sitting in a presbytery meeting behind a young minister who has a cross tattooed on the back of his neck. I was wondering where to post that for everyone's edification.

If he'd been an Anglican, I'd have said it was to help him line up his stole, of course.

A piece of advice I will never forget from my seminary rector, as he handed me my first two clerical shirts: always wash on cold with Woolite, never tumble dry. I'm sure there are much deeper pieces of advice from him I've forgotten, but that one has come in very handy!
