The priest shirt with clergy collar, also known as clerical shirts, clergyman shirts, or shirts with clergy collars, is a Christian garment of great significance.

The shirt with clergy collar is an evolution of the traditional cassock worn by Catholic priests. This garment has gained popularity and is widely used by priests in their social life.

It is a symbol of the Catholic priesthood, a reminder to society of the authority of priests within the parish circle. It also serves as a constant reminder to priests of the commitment they have made to God and the Catholic Church.

Black priest shirt with Clergy Collar

Clerical shirts or shirts with clergy collars traditionally, in imitation of the cassock, were black.

Today, there are clergy shirts available in a wide variety of colors, including white, blue, gray, and more.

Nevertheless, black remains the most popular color. Most Catholic priests purchase black clergy shirts for their everyday attire.

The color black holds profound symbolism within the Catholic Church. Black is the color of mourning, intense sorrow, grief, nostalgia, and hopelessness following the loss of a loved one. In this sense, black liturgical vestments are often used in requiem Masses.

Shirts are not liturgical vestments, but the black color also represents mourning. In this case, Catholic priests wearing black clergyman shirts express mourning for the death of Christ. Additionally, black is a somber color consistent with the life attitude that priests must maintain in their daily work.

Clergy shirt sizes

Priest collar shirts are worn by priests of all kinds worldwide. It's a garment greatly appreciated for its perfect blend of symbolism and comfort.

The neck size of the shirt is one of the most important factors in ensuring a comfortable fit. When buying a clergyman shirt, consider that the sizes roughly represent the circumference in centimeters of the shirt's collar. In other words, if you purchase a size 45 priest collar shirt, you are buying a shirt with an approximate 45 cm collar circumference.

A size 45 is a good choice for those with approximately 45 cm neck circumference who prefer their shirts to fit snugly. It's also a suitable option for priests with 44 cm neck circumference who prefer loose-fitting shirts.
