What is a Cassock?
A cassock, which is also known as a soutane, is an item of clothing that is traditionally worn by members of the clergy. It is a long robe that reaches to the ankles. Although it is a robe, it is close-fitting and not baggy. Cassocks are most commonly worn by clerics within the Roman Catholic Church. However, some clerics in the Anglican, Presbyterian, and Lutheran churches also wear cassocks.
