A rochet is a white vestment generally worn by a Roman Catholic or Anglican bishop .In the Catholic Church, cardinals, bishops and certain other dignitaries use a rochet, a garment that is worn over the cassock. In the Anglican tradition, the rochet comes down almost to the hem of the cassock and its sleeves are gathered at the wrist.
