The cassock is NOT outer wear in the sense that a jacket is.

I always classified cassocks in the same category as blazers and suit coats are in a sense a “jacket”.

I’m of the strong belief that clothing is supposed to be worn under cassocks. They even have pocket slits to allow for pant pocket access.

If there are priests who, for some peculiar reason, don’t wear anything under their cassocks, please do.
 
sorry to break the pants discussion,

YoungTradCatholic~ do you know what order those Sisters in the picture are?

btw, both of the priests at my parish wear cassocks about 2-3 times a week and wear pants underneath.

It was enough of a slant that I needed to learn to control my clutch enough that I didn’t roll back into another vehicle, but at the same time, not slip the clutch.👍

It was a pretty area: Did you know St. Michael’s Retreat House?

No, I don’t know who they are. They probably wear pants underneath it because they don’t wear the cassock habitually.
 
The correct term is “sash loops” and these are the same as belt loops. As to what we wear under the cassock. Most just wear black pants - just like we wear with our shirts. Years ago, we wore (I still do) a pair of pants that were cut off at mid calf, and used knee high socks that were black. (When wearing a white cassock - one of the most usefull items of clerical clothing but not used by many the pants and socks were white). You need to remember that the shirt has the white tab collar and that the cassock had the opening for that tab to show, other wise you had wear a take off collar that still required a shirt of some sort. I agree that pant legs bagging below the cassock are in bad taste, so the socks with the shorter legged pants have a most digified look! If the wearer is a prelate, either major or minor, then there were “coloured hose” of the rank that were optional. These were not worn for many years, but are now again being used. I only used black with my house or choir cassock, and white with a plain white cassock and my violet sash. I think that red were for cardinals and prelates of honour and protonotaries apostolic, while purple were for bishops and secret chaplains. I never bothered to get a pair of red stockings which my rank entitles me to wear. I got to admit, I am thinking about getting a saturno with the correct cords!

If you mean the sisters with Cardinal Burke, they are from the female branch of ICRSS, the Sisters Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus.

imprisoned by love in Thy most holy Sacrament,
have mercy upon us.

ese Cristo con su Cuerpo, con su Sangre, con su Alma, y con su Divinidad,
prisonero de amor.

I’ve mainly studied 19th century English Church History, so the shorts and stockings are what I’m familiar with. I’m not sure if “shorts” is the official term but that’s what a patron of mine called them. And the bishops wore their colored hose; I remember one of them had to be carried out of a bog in New Zealand with “his purple legs sticking forward”!
