Traditional Geneva Robe

Heavy Weight Twill-Weave Polyester Fibre The Geneva Gown (also sometimes known as a Geneva gown, pulpit gown, or robe) is an ecclesiastical garment customarily worn by ordained ministers in the Christian churches that arose out of the Protestant Reformation. This dignified gown is meant to convey the authority and solemn duty of the ordained ministry as called by God to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus and preach the biblical Word of God. Often worn over street clothes or more traditionally a cassock but today more commonly a business suit with or without clerical collar, the Geneva Gown eschews ostentation, obscuring individual grooming and concealing fashion preferences in order to instead draw attention to the wearer's office and not the person. Our Geneva Gown is a formal ministerial costume and is open-fronted and worn at ankle length. Made from heavy-weight polyester fibre with a high-quality fabric composition and stylish cut. The soft feel, of Easy Care fabric means that they can be worn all day in comfort and the use of modern fabrics means that the gowns store exceptionally well, lending themselves to either frequent or infrequent use, worry-free.
