Many years ago, I spent Sunday mornings dressed like this:

It's not as bad as it looks. Except in August. With lots of floodlights on the sanctuary.

Did I mention the church wasn't air conditioned?

It was great in the winter.

In my time, the altar boys always had their favorite cassock and surplice. If you served with someone who was bigger or smaller than you, they wouldn’t get dibs on it. You didn’t want a cassock that was short because it would look like a dress. LOL

Some were pretty frayed around the edges and were probably worn thousands of times before I became an altar boy. Maybe some were even worn by my father. They would get mended over and over, but never thrown out.
