Navis Traditional Cassock

Designed for Procession & Weekday Liturgy

Navis was drafted for ministers whose weekly rhythm includes procession in and out of the sanctuary, communion at the rail, and chancel sitting through extended liturgy. The cassock is cut at full length with a deeper hem allowance so the line stays correct during walking and kneeling, and the deep-blue ground reads as gravely traditional rather than vivid royal.

Center-Back Inverted Pleat

The signature feature is a true center-back inverted box pleat that runs from the yoke to the hem. The pleat allows the cassock to open cleanly when the wearer walks or sits without distorting the front placket, and it adds a small amount of fabric drape that reads as traditional vesture from the back of the church.

Tailoring & Construction

Mandarin clerical collar shaped for a 1.5” white tab, full-length button placket with reinforced bar-tacks, two interior cassock pockets, felled side seams for a flat finish under stoles, and a tape-finished hem to weight evenly across the back pleat.

Fabric & Care

Mid-weight polyester-rayon broadcloth in a sealed deep blue, slightly darker than our Caelorum, with enough body to support the back pleat without bulk. Dry clean recommended; light steam between wears, paying attention to the pleat fold.
