Even when I wear a proper alb, rather than a cassock-alb, the alb and stole look does not work for me. I have to do either thr whole thing or cassock and rochet (being a pointy head) not to look a prat, though some would, etc....

No Eucharistic vestments in Milton Keynes, which is ecumenical - only evensong robes. They have weekly eucharists as their main and only service.

I am reliably informed that apparalled amices reduce pratness quite considerably.

But I think that alb and stole, even with apparelled amice, looks best on those of a leaner and more ascetic appearance. PD has, if photos of him are to be believed, a more substantial and imposing presence, which lends itself better to something flowing- chasuble, choir robes or gown.

Besides, it would be ridiculous to use one mediaeval vestment (the apparelled amice) and not the rest(i.e. the chasuble).
Quite incidentally, I wonder if anyone wears alb, stole and maniple ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)

I take your point. Piped black cassock rather than the full purple, which would be slimming, and a fuller Victorian surplice to cover the prelatical paunch. However, if he must be albed (and one must be from time to time) apparels and a some chaste but elegant embroidery on the stole would distract the eye from the unfortunate visuals of theological substance.

Shipmates will forgive the double post, as it provides me with the opportunity to assure Vade Mecum that there are clergy who honour the diaconal saints and affirm their ministry of service by using the maniple when in alb & stole.

Please note, PD, that it was not I who started talking about paunches.

In Montréal, it's required.

Most of our sets are only stole and chasuble, sadly. Our violet set does have a maniple, and when I wear that set I wear the maniple too (in addition to the amice and the alb, of course).

Sarum cassocks are a lot kinder to those of us who are a bit broad in the beam. Especially if, like me, your weight varies with the seasons.
