| The parish priests wear cassocks, birettas, and fiddleback vestments, and they know what to do with an amice, maniple, and cincture. |
| Village cures in their black cassocks and shovel hats, and monks in sandals and brown woollen robes, were everywhere. |
| Orthodox and Byzantine Rite priests usually wear black cassocks, but gray and brown are also permitted. |
| Altar boys took the occasional hit from the altar wine and used their cassocks for Halloween costumes. |
| Cassocks are similarly inadvisable in a force 10 gale, replaced by the standard hard hat, flameproof overalls, safety goggles, boots and gloves. |
| The guild also purchased material and made the choirboys new cassocks, in addition to contributing towards the cost of new hymn and prayer books for the congregation. |
