Everything about Tippet totally explained
A
Tippet is a
stole or
scarf-like narrow piece of clothing, worn around the arms and above the elbow. They evolved in the
fourteenth century from long sleeves and typically had one end hanging down to the knees. In later fashion, a tippet is often any scarf-like wrap, usually made of
fur, such as the
16th century zibellino or the fur-lined capelets worn in the
mid-18th century.
Ecclesiastical use
A ceremonial scarf worn by
Anglican ministers is also sometimes called a tippet. The tippet is worn with
choir dress and hangs straight down at the front.
Ordained clergy wear a black tippet, while licensed
readers wear a blue one. It is normally simply referred to as a
preaching scarf,
black scarf, or
blue scarf. The tippet is different from the
stole, which although often worn like a scarf is a liturgical
vestment, usually made of richer material, and varying according to the
liturgical color of the day.
The black preaching scarf (rarely blue, grey or green) is also worn by some
Scottish Presbyterian ministers and other
non-conformist clergy.
