So what is a cassock?

The cassock, an item of clerical clothing, isa long, close-fitting, ankle-length robe worn by clerics of the Roman CatholicChurch, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglican Church, and some clerics of theReformed, and Lutheran churches. The cassock derives historically from thetunic that was formerly worn underneath the toga in classical antiquity.The word cassock probably comes from the word \"casaque\" which meanscloak; or cassaca, which means white. In older days, it was known in Latin asvestis talaris.Although the cassock was formerly the universal everyday clothing of theclergy, many have abandoned it as in favour of a clerical suit of moreconventional design. In current usage, wearing of the cassock may be a mark ofa traditional cleric; its abandonment, a rejection thereof. In the UK and UnitedStates, the black clerical suit remains the norm for Priests, Deacons etc. inpublic ministry, though the use of the cassock remains at their personaldiscretion and when worn is most often employed in liturgy.
