Elevating Your Clerical Essentials This Christmas
As December's frost settles, the scent of pine mingles with incense in echoing naves, the true magic of Christmas unfolds in the quiet glow of candlelit altars. For clergy navigating the whirlwind of Advent , carol concerts, and midnight masses, this season is a tapestry of joy, reflection, and tireless service. At Hammond & Harper of London, we're passionate about crafting attire that doesn't just withstand the demands of the day but enhances the reverence of the moment. With our British heritage and commitment to quality, this Christmas 2025—on the cusp of the solstice's promise—discover how our clerical essentials can infuse your celebrations with timeless poise and sustainable heart.

Embracing the Season: Attire That Serves You
The rhythm of Christmas liturgy calls for grace under pressure: from dawn chorales to eve's solemn Eucharist. Our 100% cotton clerical shirts are designed for exactly that—breathable, durable, and elegantly understated, ensuring you remain present during service.
- Tunnel Collar Shirts: Sleek and versatile, in classic black or a range of more vibrant colours. Long or short sleeves to layer under cassocks against the winter bite.
- Collar-Attached Styles: Timeless choices for traditional services, with Collar-Attached styles discounted and starting at £26.95, offering a more affordable base for vestments during the Nativity readings.
- Eco Tunnel Range: Echoing the season's call to care for creation, our women's eco tunnel shirts (£50.93) blend faith with environmental conscious practices—perfect for eco-conscious deacons leading green Advent initiatives.
And for those lighter moments, like post-service mulled wine gatherings, our clerical polo shirts in grey, black, or light blue provide casual refinement without sacrificing professionalism.
