A rochet () is a white vestment generally worn by Latin Catholic and Anglican bishops in choir dress. It is virtually unknown in Eastern Christianity. The rochet in its Roman form is similar to a surplice, with narrower sleeves and a hem that comes below the knee, and both may include lace. The Anglican form is a descendant of traditional albs worn by deacons and priests, but with sleeves gathered at the wrists and nearly as long as the underlying cassock.
