Cappa magna of a bishop or archbishop shown with winter hood.

Cappa Magna The cappa magna is the most full form of choir dress of bishops and the Archdeacon and Deans ad honorem of the Patriarchal Chapter. The cappa is worn over the choir cassock and rochet and has a train. Jurisdictional bishops may wear the train down and extended within their own jurisdictions. For wear by other prelates and for general use, the train is worn folded up or carried over the left arm. During the summer half-year, the hood is of silk or cloth. During the winter half-year, the hood is of fur. The pectoral cross is generally worn over the hood.

The mozzetta of a bishop or archbishop.

Mozzetta The mozzetta is worn by jurisdictional bishops within their own jurisdiction. It is worn over the choir cassock and rochet. The pectoral cross is worn on a green and gold cord. This habit is the most common general-use choral habit of a jurisdictional bishop and constitutes his primary habit.

The mozzetta of a bishop or archbishop outside their territory or of an auxiliary bishop.

Mantelletta The mantelletta is worn over the rochet and choir cassock by auxiliary bishops everywhere, and by jurisdictional bishops when outside their territory. It is also worn by the Archdeacon, Deans ad Honorem, and Canons of the Patriarchal Chapter. Bishops use the pectoral cross on a green and gold cord. The Archdeacon and Deans ad honorem wear the pectoral cross on a purple and gold cord. Canons do not use the pectoral cross.

The mozzetta worn with the mantelletta underneath.

Mozzetta with Mantelletta The mantelletta is worn underneath the mozzetta by jurisdictional bishops within their own territory in the presence of a greater prelate within their specific hierarchy, e.g., a Bishop Ordinary being visited by his Metropolitan. This combination is also used always by the Archbishop Coadjutor of the Patriarchal See and, in scarlet, by the Governor-General.

The cotta worn over the rochet. The lack of pectoral cross indicates a Canon of the Patriarchal Chapter.

Cotta or Surplice The cotta or surplice is worn over the rochet by minor prelates when administering a sacrament requiring a stole. Bishops may do likewise, or they may place the stole directly over the rochet. Clerics who are not prelates wear the cotta or surplice over the black clerical cassock.

The mantellum of a Chamberlain.

Mantellum The mantellum is worn directly over the purple choral cassock of a Patriarchal Chamberlain. It is also used by the Master of the Household and the Train Bearer, both over a purple cassock with black buttons, trimmings, and cuffs.

Informal abito corto of a cleric.

Abito Corto/Civic Habit The Patriarchate does not make use of the modern "clergy suit," but instead follows a more ancient custom. When not vested in the clerical cassock, clerics wear either abito corto (a shortened version of the cassock worn with trousers and a vest) or a regular suit with zucchetto and, for bishops, the pectoral cross and ring. Formal abito corto is worn with knee britches and stockings. A ferraiolo is worn as appropriate. The jackets and vests of prelates are trimmed in a similar fashion to the house cassock. Abito corto may be worn in most situations in which the house cassock may be used.
