Clergy Albs
Shop our collection of clergy albs, the traditional white alb robe worn by priests, deacons, and ministers during Mass, processions, and other formal liturgical celebrations. Every alb garment in this collection is hand-tailored from 100% polyester fabric, giving it an easy, comfortable fit through the full-body silhouette while remaining machine-friendly for simple, regular care.
What Is an Alb?
An alb is a long, white alb vestment traditionally worn at the altar, symbolizing purity and readiness for sacred service. The word comes from the Latin albus, meaning white. As a foundational piece of alb clothing, it's typically worn with a cincture at the waist and layered beneath other formal vestments, such as a chasuble or stole, during Mass.
Catholic Alb Styles We Offer
Our collection includes several tailored options for priests, deacons, and ministers:
- Front Wrap Alb — an adjustable wrap-style closure for an easier, more flexible fit.
- Double Pleat Alb — featuring two pleats on the front and back for freer movement during altar services.
- Classic and Traditional Fitted Alb — a timeless, straightforward silhouette for everyday church wear.
- Lace Alb — an ornate, decorative alb robe with lace detailing at the neckline, suited to formal Masses and special occasions.
Whether you're looking for a simple catholic alb for daily service or a more ornate lace alb for a special occasion, this collection covers both ends of that range.
Fabric, Fit, and Construction
Each priest alb is hand-tailored using 100% polyester fabric, chosen for its easy-fit drape and durability through regular wear and washing. Front and back pleats allow freer movement during altar services, while two Velcro tabs at the waist help the garment's fall stay in place, especially while seated. An adjustable Velcro closure at the neck allows for a more personalized, comfortable fit rather than a rigid, one-size design.
How to Choose the Right Size
Our clergy albs are available from X-Small through XXX-Large. Because a well-fitted alb affects both comfort and how the garment falls during services, we recommend using our How to Measure guide before ordering, taking body measurements rather than relying on standard clothing size alone.
What to Wear With Your Alb
A cassock alb is sometimes chosen as an all-in-one alternative to wearing a separate cassock and alb together. If you prefer the traditional layered look, complete the ensemble with a Clergy Cincture at the waist, and layer formal Vestments on top for Mass and ceremonial occasions. For everyday needs, explore our full Clergy Apparel for Men collection.
Caring for Your Alb
Because these albs are made from machine-friendly polyester, most can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and air dried or tumble dried on low heat. Avoid high heat on albs with lace detailing, as it can affect delicate trim over time.
