Description
Vivid Royal Blue, Modern Silhouette
Caelis is unapologetic in color: a saturated royal blue that catches the eye in baptisms, confirmations, and televised services without crossing into uniform brightness. The body is cut for a contemporary read — trim through the chest, clean across the shoulders, with a hem long enough to stay tucked.
Hidden Placket and Full Neckband Collar
The hidden front placket conceals all front buttons behind a smooth fabric flap, leaving only the collar and any clerical insert visible. The full neckband collar accepts a removable white neckband insert for a high-collar look favored by Anglican, Lutheran, and Methodist traditions.
Construction and Detailing
Flat-felled side seams, a split back yoke, and reinforced shoulder seams keep the silhouette clean over many wears. Barrel cuffs are interlined for crispness, and tonal stitching finishes the look without distracting topstitch lines.
Fabric and Care
Cotton-rich poplin (approx. 65% cotton / 35% polyester) for low-iron performance and color retention. Machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry low, and hang to keep the placket flat.
Who It’s For and Sizing
Best for Anglican, Lutheran, and Methodist clergy who prefer a full neckband over a tab band, plus any minister who wants a strong color statement with minimalist detailing. Standard 14.5–18 with regular and tall sleeves; made-to-measure available.

FAQs
What is the difference between a tab collar and a full neckband?
A tab collar shows only a small white square at the throat through a notched opening. A full neckband (Caelis) shows a continuous white collar all the way around when an insert is worn, common in Anglican and Methodist traditions.
Are inserts included?
One standard white neckband insert is included. Replacement two-packs are available as an add-on at checkout.
Will the royal blue fade?
The dye is reactive and color-fast. Wash cold with like colors and avoid bleach to maintain saturation; the shirt is rated for repeated home laundering.
Is Caelis appropriate for traditional services?
Yes. The full neckband and clean front line are appropriate for liturgical services, processions, and pastoral visits across most Protestant and Anglican traditions; check local norms for very high-formal occasions.
