For clergy, their regular biretta, kamilavka, or skufia is worn. Convocation dress: Laity wear the regalia over a black suit or morning dress. Regular clergy wear the regalia over their house cassock. Prelates wear the house cassock with toga or ferraiolo proper to their rank and their regular biretta, kamilavka, or skufia. Festive dress: Laity wear the regalia over a black suit with winged-collar shirt and white bow tie. Regular clergy wear the black toga over their cassock exactly as in convocation dress. Prelates wear academic dress, i.e., the choral habit proper to their rank, without the rochet for those so entitled, and their regular biretta, kamilavka, or skufia.  The festive dress is worn at solemn ceremonies, such as the conferral of degrees.   [Pontifical Georgian College Main Page]     DISCLAIMER AND LEGAL NOTICES
