Cape(?) in ICRSS choir dress

[IPSB]

Does anyone know what the cape(?) which seems to be under the mozzetta but over the cassock and rochet in the choir dress of the Institute of Christ the King is?

Thank you for any answers!

I can find that out for you. The Institute administers my church. I will get back to you shortly.

 

[IPSB]

Okay, thank you.

It looks like a ferraiolo.

I thought a ferraiolo shouldn’t be worn with choir dress…

So did I. I’d ask an ICRSS canon about all this myself, but I won’t see one until the 22nd and I’m guessing chesterlab will obtain an answer long before then.

My guess is that it is an oversized version of a mantelletta, which used to be part of prelatial dress. I will be quite interested to hear the canons resolve the question.

Okay, in case anyone’s still interested…today, I asked one of the ICRSS canons about this vestment, and he called it a manteau de chœur, or “choir coat.” Note that I am in France; what this is called in English or any other language might be something totally different, as with the mozzetta, which is French is known as the camail. :whacky:

Hope that helps in some way.

IIRC, the manteau de chœur is a mantellone. While I realize this is wikipedia, I believe the explanation is accurate.

 

[IPSB]

Yes, that seems to be accurate!

Thank you!
