I would like to see some "trendier" wear for us ministers. I normally wear hoodies around so I'd seriously like a clerical hoodie. I think other younger ministers would go along with that too. A gap in the market maybe?Ian (Minister of an urban baptist church in Manchester)
Clergy Collar reply...
Ian, I love the idea of clerical hoodies. I will look into this. Thanks.

How about pure linen clerical shirts and blouses? I would also like to see a tartan clerical shirt. Does such a thing exist? Would be very unusual. I like the idea of a "clerical hoodie". Well done Ian. God Bless.
Claire Bass said...I like the Hammond & Harper clerical shirts and clerical blouses. My husband also prefers them. Nice to see the fine red stripe in the male and female tonsure shirts. Nice to see a female tonsure clerical shirt full stop! I would like to see more 100% cotton and in some different colours and styles. Very good website by the way.
Jim Olson said...How about having a US representative? No company here makes custom clergy shirts...and most of us are 'custom' sizes!
Clergy Collar reply...
We can take orders from the US and can ship worldwide for just a little more than UK shipping costs. Custom sizes take 8-10 weeks.
Patricia said...Having just survived Christmas the one thing I really could have done with was some sparkly clerical blouses when attending all those Christmas lunches. (I suspect that a fabric with a bit of give in it would most likely be needed!!)How about some in time for next Christmas - only another 354 days to go.

Just a comment to say thank you to http://www.clergycollars.co.uk/ for your help in my fundraising efforts. I am a Baptist Minister from Lode Chapel, near Cambridge, and am running the London Marathon on Sunday 26 April 2009. I wanted some way of being noticed on the day, and something unusual to help get the local/Baptist media interested (and thus raise more money) - and I came up with running in a clerical collar. Thanks to Mary Collings I have been supplied with a free bibstock which, combined with a black running vest, should work a treat. I am running for two charities:- Zambesi Mission, which is a Christian charity involved in humanitarian work and theological education in Malawi and Northern Mozambique (click here for more info or to sponsor me)- and Spurgeons College, a baptist college, where I recently completed my theological training, which is raising money for some essential building works (click here for more info or to sponsor me)As a customer of http://www.clergycollars.co.uk/ I appreciate your generous help with this fundraising endeavour. May God continue to bless your business and family.

It's a simple suggestion, but how about custom made in a decent 100% BLACK cotton. I couldn't see this in your list of colours. Black's going to be popular amongst us Catholics, and the better the material the more comfortable and easier to manage.
Clergy Collar reply...
Yes we can also do custom shirts in 100% cotton and the colours are black, grey and white. In any style. Thanks.

Clergy Shirts - Quality and History of Reliant Shirts
'Reliant' is one of the brand names belonging to HR Denne Ltd. Our pedigree is steeped in history dating back to the mid 1800’s in the East end of London.
The company started out as a collar maker to the ecclesiastical/clergy market and the city gentry of London city. The collars developed into celluloid collars by the late 1890’s as listed in the 1900 census.
After that the natural progression was to make clergy shirts in addition to the clergy collars and by the early 1950’s the Reliant label introduced our quality clerical shirt range.
Our range has progressed over the years and Reliant has a large stockholding over many colours and styles. Included in our range of Clergy shirts are: - Tab/Sic shirts in different height collars; Neckband shirts; Tonsure shirts; back fastening shirts; tunic shirts; Regular collar clergy shirts; Ladies clergy shirts.

True story! Sorry no names.
A young vicar was changing his clothes to get ready for a wedding. He took off his clerical shirt and placed it on a chair in the vestry, as he always did. The shirt was very unusual as his mother embroidered a unique cross on the pocket with his initials. Once the wedding had finished he returned to the vestry and to his astonishment the clerical shirt was missing!
He hunted high and low for about two weeks. It really upset him but finally he had to admit the shirt had been stolen. This happened 2006 in London.
The young vicar visited friends in Orlando, Florida, 2008. The last day of his stay he visited a "Flea Market". There was an unusual stall with religious artifacts and clerical clothing. He was rummaging through the chasubles and stoles when he came across a shirt box. He opened it and inside was his beloved shirt. He asked the stall owner how he had acquired the shirt and the gentleman replied that he purchased it at a boot sale in London whilst on holiday! It cost him $20 to get it back and the guy would not haggle!

How about being the first organisation to bother with clerical shirts for pregnant women which actually fit?
Thank you for speedy despatch and delivery, excellent quality shirt for under £20. Jim Davis.
I have just ordered a Thai silk clerical blouse from you. I cannot wait! Congratulations for offering alternatives to the standard shirts and blouses.
I see you now make custom clergy shirts. It is about time that a clerical outfitter offered this service. Thai Silk sounds very nice. Just for the record I am extremely pleased with your service. I thoroughly recommend Clergy Collar for high quality clerical shirts.
I received a lovely clerical blouse from you (Thai Silk). There is nothing like this in the USA. God bless you for your innovation. I look forward to more! I will pass the word about Clergy Collar.
