Christ is Risen!
My husband is a Greek Orthodox priest, and for most days his uniform consists of an anteri (cassock.) But there are plenty of occasions where a clerical shirt is super appropriate. So when we started looking at some of the more traditional brands I hesitated to purchase them, knowing they were often ill-fitting and hot. We’re so glad that the Wicking Vicar takes a different, more youthful approach. My husband loves his shirt, looks very professional, and can’t wait to purchase more. Thank you!
The material is great. It doesn't wrinkle, even if you don't fold it right out of the dryer. My only comment would be that it would be nice to have different collar sizes for each size.
Our grandson loves to play church and this set is perfect for that. He was using miscellaneous toys and pieces to set up his altar. Now he has the pieces just like he sees at church. It has been a perfect gift for him.
This set is incredible! First of all, it is beautiful quality! We purchased these sets for our preschool and kindergarten classrooms in our Catholic school and the kids LOVE playing with the sets!
Wonderful for children to learn about Advent
It's not my favorite material but it does the job and it's my go to shirt. The other companies have started to make their clothing out of cheaper, less durable material and the buttons are never fastened.
WV is a solid shirt and I have about 4 of them now. The black stays black and I can just wash and wear!
The only negatives are the collar sits a little too low for me and the plastic tab for the collar slides in and out too easily. The collar spacing can be closer so the tab isn't so prominent but not a big deal.
My preschoolers have loved using the church set! They handle it very seriously, imitating what they have seen in church.
This Advent wreath has been a wonderful addition to my kindergarten classroom. It's so nice to have this Advent symbol that my students can touch and play with. It has really helped to create more interest in Advent and in what the different parts of the Advent wreath mean. It's a meaningful and hands on way for my students to grow in their faith.
Over the past few years, our family has purchased a number of these baptismal candles. They make great little presents for godchildren or good friends. We regularly get them out for baptismal birthdays or when the kids play "church".
My husband loves these shirts for the comfort, and I love them because they are so easy to clean and take care of!
My three-year-old loves it. He looks forward to his Advent wreath coming out every year. We hide the flames and add them through the season.
My kids (4 and 18 months) had so much fun playing with this throughout the advent season we were sad to put it away. Great addition to any home!
The best fabric for clerical shirts I have been able to get a hold of!
Made very well! This is beautiful and very nice for children, as well as adults who cannot have candles in their homes. Thank you!
Best fitting shirt I’ve tried. Generous sleeve length and stretch to the fabric make it a comfortable all day wear.
Loved watching our toddler and preschooler play and create with the Advent Wreath! They loved finding the 'big advent wreath' in church which set off more playtime and use at home.
The shirt has an active (slimmer) fit, yet the collar is still roomy. The material is cool in warm weather, but more prone to static in the winter. Hanging up after washing (i.e. no dryer) keeps the wrinkles to a minimum. I've had two of these shirts for several months and the color has not faded. Very happy with the shirt!
We give one of these beautiful wooden keepsake candles at each child or infant baptism in our congregation. As an LCMS church worker, I love supporting a Lutheran small business. As a mother, I love having this special baptismal reminder for my littles. We also use this candle in the center of our Wicking Vicar Advent wreath.
Love the look and feel of this shirt, but the collar that it came with does not fit properly in it. I have to squeeze it in. The short sleeve shirt I bought from them does not have this problem.
I love the shirt, it is perfect for all weather and does not look like a dry-fit shirt.
My son used these candles as Baptismal Birthday gifts for his Godchildren. My sister embellished them. They are great visual reminders for the little ones!
Not only super comfortable, but also has a nice silhouette! Not like the boxey traditional clerical shirts. The stretchy fabric moves with you AND keeps its dark hue…I’m tired of the others fading! Could you please make a full collar shirt for us Anglicans?!
This clerical does what it is supposed to do and looks good at the same time.
