Bishop's Chimere in the Anglican Tradition

The chimere is the traditional bishop's outer garment for choir offices. We tailor them in a selection of fine fabrics to exacting standards in our own USA shop.

  • A long, sleeveless gown, worn over the rochet, and designed to fall to high ankle length
  • Materials are Tropana, a blend of polyester and viscose rayon, or 100% Lightweight Wool in Gabardine or Broadcloth weaves
  • Traditional colors are black for funerals and red/scarlet for usual choir offices
  • Front is open, secured with a button-and-loop "morse"
  • Back is gathered with finely set "flutes" and finished with a braid and button
  • Dry clean
  • Handcrafted by Almy in Pittsfield, Maine.
  • Please contact our customer service for delivery dates 1-800-225-2569.
  • Custom chimeres are not returnable - please see swatches and take measurements for size before ordering
