Traditional Albs

Traditional and front wrap albs are the long, white linen robes with tapered sleeves that are worn by clergy at Mass. the liturgical vestments are used in a variety of religions and they are considered the twelfth oldest type of liturgical vestment known to man. Today, the alb is one of the most common garments worn by clergy. The garments are worn over the cassock and under any special pieces such as a stole or chasuble. If the alb does not cover the collar, an amice may be worn as well. Matthew F. Sheehan carries a variety of traditional and front wrap alb styles to choose from. The pieces are made by well-respected religious designers including the R. J. Toomey company. Some designs include delicate embroidery along the edge of the sleeves and the bottom hem. Whether you’re looking for a plain white traditional alb or a modern embroidered piece in a front wrap design, you’ll find the high-quality garments you need at Sheehan’s of Boston. We have been delivering the finest religious goods including linen clerical robes since 1907 and are a trusted source in the industry. Shop today and discover the wide variety of albs available to meet your needs.
