Collar for Catholic priest shirts

Liturgical vestments hold great significance both within the parish's liturgical realm and in the daily lives of Catholic priests.

The priest's shirt, in particular, plays a crucial role during activities performed by priests and pastors that aren't directly related to Mass or other liturgical celebrations.

Shirts for clergy are distinguished by their collars. This part of clerical attire is the hallmark that sets a priestly shirt apart from other men's garments.

One could say that a shirt for clergy is essentially a man's shirt with a distinct and identifying collar.

The defining feature of clergy shirt collars is that they are white. This type of collar symbolizes the purity of the priest's soul and their consecration to the service of God and the Church. It also represents the importance of leading an exemplary life in the eyes of fellow citizens and being prepared for sacrifice in the name of God. It signifies priestly consecration and underscores the clergyman's authority and commitment to their faith and community.

Typically, the white color of clerical shirt collars is achieved through the use of tab collars. A tab collar is a white strip or garment that is placed over the collar of shirts or polo shirts for men.

Tab collars, and hence the collars of priests' shirts, are commonly classified into two types: Roman collars and clergy collars (also known simply as clergyman).

• Roman collar shirts

Roman collars were the most common among priests. They are made of stiff fabric and encircle the entire neck. The white part of the Roman collar is visible in a wide area around the priest's neck.

• Clergy collar shirts

On the other hand, we have tab collars, or tabbed collars. These consist of a narrow piece that is placed over the shirt's collar, instead of the traditional Roman collar. Unlike Roman collars, this type of tab collar is only visible in the front part of the priest's neck.
