Contra Mundum Clericals
Crafted with devotion. Shirts and trousers for the daily round of ministry, made for those who hold the faith and the orders as received.
Built for Parish Work
Contra Mundum Clericals makes clothing for the work of ministry, from the altar on Sunday to every ordinary day in between. Every garment is cut from a durable, moisture-wicking blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, for comfort, flexibility, and long service. Whether you are praying the offices, serving the Divine Liturgy or the Mass, hearing confessions, anointing the sick, burying the dead, teaching the catechumens, or making the rounds of hospital and home, it is built to keep you cool, dry, and not thinking about what you have on.

A Faith Worth Standing For
Athanasius stood against the world, and the Church is Nicene because he did. That faith was confessed at Nicaea, guarded by the fathers before it and after, and held in common by the undivided Church of the first millennium. It was never won in comfort, and it was never ours to amend. We make clothing for the men who keep it: plain, durable, indifferent to fashion, and built for the long haul of parish ministry.
One Faith, Many Altars
We make what we wear ourselves, and the faith we hold was not invented by us and is not ours alone. Wherever the Creed is confessed as the fathers meant it, the sacraments are honoured, Scripture is read in the company of the undivided Church, and the orders of ministry are kept as received, you are who this is made for. "Contra Mundum" is not a boast. It is a description of the work.
