What's your favourite colour of cassock?

[Guest]

It struck me earlier that there's not a massive variety of cassock colours out there. Blue, red, the occasional green or purple....not much else. So if you were picking a colour(s), what would your cassocks look like? I think I might go for a rather tasteful lilac. With a bit of fuchsia thrown in perhaps.

Yellow and cyan are the two obvious colours that are missing. Thereafter, blend as you will ...

Very good.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the fuschia's orange.

Don't Norwich wear cerise on high days and holy days? St Paul's normally wear black - very slimming. The original Guildford cassocks were sort of cerise, too.

This is quite fun:

Going back through the archive it's hard to believe some of those weren't made especially for that blog

I think a tasteful grey would look good - with a hint of purple perhaps. Good question AscribeUntoTheLad!

Are York colours still blue (weekdays) except Saturdays, Sundays and Saints'/Holy Days when they are red? I think that these colours are most apprpriate.

Oh, definitely Rose Pink for me. Such a flattering colour! But, that is only for Guadete Sunday I think. But really, you can't have a favourite cossack colour as it's all laid down according to the Lit. Year so it's a bit academic. Personally, I dislike green which is boring

Oh dear me! So I suppose a Black Russian is out of the question then?

Many years ago (over 40) I attended an R. S. C. M. residential course at Taunton, taken my the great Roy Massey. A couple of lads also on the course wore buttercup yellow cassocks but I cannot remember from which institution they came. I do recall thinking that they did not go very well with white surplices.
