Habit of the Archfather
The habit of the Archfather consists of a white cassock with white or red buttons and optional red trim. For liturgical or choir dress, it is also worn with a white watered silk fascia with red and gold bullion tassels. For house dress, a white fascia with red fringe is optionally used instead. A white plain silk zucchetto is used, along with a mozzetta. There are certain elements of the pontifical habit specific to the history and patrimony of the Apostolic See.
Mozzetta
The winter mozzetta, used from the Feast of St. Catherine until the Ascension, is of red velvet, silk, or wool with white fur trimming. Alternatively, the winter fur mozzetta, used during the same period, is longer and of white fur lined with red satin, without a standing collar, and with a red hood. The winter toga may also be worn underneath the mozzetta. It is scarlet with large sleeves and white fur trim on the edge of the sleeves. The summer mozzetta, used from the Ascension through the Feast of St. Catherine, is of red moiré. A red and gold or a solid gold patriarchal stole may be used over the mozzetta.
Mantum
Pontifical dress of the archfather consists of a long red mantum, which is a long cope. It is always red. It is worn with the tiara or the mitre outside liturgy and the mitre within liturgy. It is also used any time that a cope is otherwise prescribed. The grand choir dress is not used for solemn arrival during penitential rites, when instead the cappa magna is used. However, during penitential liturgy that calls for the cope, a mantulum (shorter mantum) is instead used.
Paschal Habit
During Paschaltide, the mozzetta is according to the season, and the stole, if used, is always the gold one.
Habits of the Governor-General and Arch-Chancellor
The habits of the Governor-General and the Arch-Chancellor, as Prince-Electors, are essentially identical to those of bishops, except that what is purple is red. A purple cassock with red trimming is used in penitential seasons and for mourning.

The Old
Holy Roman Church of the English Rite is an autonomous and
semi-autocephalous Old Roman Catholic
Patriarchate
with Anglican patrimony descended from the Roman Catholic See of Utrecht.
The See of
Utrecht was granted autonomy from Rome by the Holy See in 1145 and
has remained independent.
Modernly
known as the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church (ARRCC), the
Patriarchate is faithful
to the
magisterium of eternal Rome and the eternal One, Holy, Catholic,
Apostolic, and Roman Church.
While it
embraces the current Roman Communion (commonly referred to as the
Roman Catholic Church,
the
Anglican Ordinariate, the Anglican Communion, and other Catholic and
Anglican bodies as brethren,
they are
not administratively bound with the ARRCC.
