Fabulous Vests For The Preacher Man
May 2, 2008 on 10:03 am | In Men's Clothing |Guys, you’ve got to see these vests from the Gentleman’s Emporium. Now, I don’t want anyone with eccentric proclivities to get any ideas here: I’m not recommending that you sport a Victoria vest with a handlebar moustache or anything crazy like that, but for a man with some fashion flair and a good sense of mixing and matching styles, some of these would be positively fabulous.
Thanks to Hank (Panky) for the link. He sent it to me after I admired the preacher’s vest he was wearing in January.
It looked wonderful. You can get one for yourself here.

I need a full collar version. The tab collars just isn’t me.

Larry and all — try Wippell’s rabet waistcoats (PDF catalog; clergy clothing http://www.wippell.com/catalog_pdf.php) or R. J. Toomey’s brother’s shirtfront, Google for retailers.

Those vests (not the clerical one but all those gorgeous ones to which you pointed us) would look wonderful with a regular clerical church (and by regular I mean full collar :-)), Larry. I’m envious of my brothers who will wear these vests. Great item, PB.
I did see women in lovely bright jewel-toned jackets (more swing than blazer, very nice) above their clericals at last year’s (a year and a half ago) diocesan convention in my (Episcopal) diocese — nice way to jazz up clerical wear and very tasteful and non-dowdy. Think I mentioned it way back then….

Peacebang,
This post about male vestments got me thinking, so I figured you were the one to ask:
What about those “Emergent” guys and their churches? As much as I dislike it, flip-flops, jeans and t-shirts seem to be the uniform of the hour. What’s your take on this ‘comfy clergy’ trend? [Elizabeth, in the archives there is a wonderful conversation/debate between myself and one of the Emergent Church type fellas on just this topic. Look under “The Jeans Debate” and enjoy. - PB]

As for the rabet, would you get a “button down” version or a “non button down”?
As for the emergent attire, aka: sandals, flip flops, and tees, I have a much lower impression of these guys when they wear this type of stuff. It almost makes me want to ask them where they went to college.
