Description
A Statement Jacket for Red Liturgical Days
Red shows up at specific moments in the church calendar – Pentecost, martyr feasts, ordinations, anniversary services, Reformation Sunday – and pastors who lead those services need a jacket that owns the color rather than apologizing for it. The Clerex is engineered as that jacket: cardinal-red wool-blend body, decisive gold detailing, and a Mandarin collar that frames the face from chancel and platform.
Signature Gold Cross Embroidery
Three embroidered gold crosses anchor the jacket: one on the left chest at heart-height, and one on each forearm cuff. Each cross is satin-stitched with metallic-effect gold thread on a tonal gold-piped border. The placket is finished with a continuous gold piping that runs from the base of the collar to the hem.
Six-Button Centered Closure and Construction
Six tonal-gold dome buttons run a centered placket from the base of the Mandarin collar. The shoulder is lightly structured to keep the cross embroidery flat, the chest is half-canvassed for clean drape without lapels, and a single back vent improves seated line during processions and longer services.
Wool-Blend Body in Color-Stable Cardinal Red
The body is a mid-weight wool-polyester blend dyed in a true cardinal red with strong color stability so the jacket reads consistent across stage lighting, daylight, and broadcast camera. Dry-clean only and store in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the dye.
Sizing and Who It’s For
Cut for senior pastors, presiding bishops, and revival evangelists in COGIC, Pentecostal, AME, and full-gospel traditions who need a dedicated jacket for red-vestment days. Standard chest sizes 38-54 in regular and long; made-to-measure available for sleeve, hem, and shoulder. Pair with a black tab-collar shirt and matching black trousers.
FAQs
When in the church year is the Clerex worn?
Pentecost, martyr feasts, Reformation Sunday, ordinations, church anniversary services, and revival weeks – any service where red is the assigned or appropriate liturgical color.
Is the gold cross embroidery actual stitching?
Yes. The crosses are satin-stitched with metallic-effect gold thread, not appliqued or printed, so the embroidery has dimensional texture in person and on camera.
Will the cardinal-red color hold up over time?
Yes. The wool-polyester blend is dyed for color stability under stage lighting and broadcast camera. Store in a breathable garment bag out of direct sunlight to preserve depth of color.
Can a denominational seal be added?
Yes. A small denominational or church seal can be embroidered as a paid add-on, typically on the right chest opposite the cross emblem; production lead time is 12–15 working days.
