Rochet

The Rochet and Chimere from Matthew F. Sheehan feature two perfectly paired garments, purchased separately. The rochet is traditionally worn under the chimere and it is similar in appearance to a surplice, but it is designed with sleeves that have a narrower cut. The chimera looks like a long scarf, with a strap at the center of the chest to hold the two sides together. The chimere is available in a range of colors, often chosen to coordinate with the liturgical season. The name rochet is derived from the Latin word rochettum which means ecclesiastical vestment.

The Rochet and Bishop Chimere is a must-have for new or experienced clergy. The rochet is available with your choice of pleated or French cuffs, though the pleated option also comes with coordinating wristbands to keep the vestment in place. The chimera is available in five colors, all of which are available at the same low price. For convenience, Matthew F. Sheehan has paired our best-selling colored chimeres with our best-selling rochets.

Rochets are available in sizes Small through X-large, though the custom sizing is also available if needed.
