The ecclesiastical use of the tippet is as a black “preaching scarf” worn around the neck to mark out the minister from [[Laity|laymen]], and is worn over a surplice.<br /> <br /> The tippet is usually made of wool or polyester, around 110” long and 6” wide, and is narrower at the neck than at the ends, to make it easier to wear.<br /> <br /> Sometimes lay readers will wear blue tippets.<br /> <br /> It is often confused with the [[stole]], but the stole is a &#039;&#039;eucharistic&#039;&#039; vestment and varies in color depending on the liturgical color of the day.<br /> <br /> == Use in Anglicanism ==<br /> The tippet is the traditional [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] vestment, worn for [[Church choir|choir dress]] by [[clergy]]. Clergy will traditionally wear a tippet over top of their [[surplice]] to distinguish them as licensed preachers from ordinary lay members of the choir who are simply wearing a [[cassock]] and surplice.</div>
