These days, not all clergy folks cling to the liturgical color calendar so many of us "old" ministers know, by heart.  With the cost of clergy shirts, robes, altar clothes, etc., and the nature of Church economics, the cost can be prohibitive.  When I was, first, ordained, in 1967, we wore black clergy shirts and white collars, seven days a week.  Today, I am non-denominational and wear "the collar" and a clergy shirt, for Sacraments and when I am representing the Church, in public functions.  Today, I have clergy shirts....two black, a red, a purple, a lilac, light blue, navy blue, green, yellow, gold, pink, rose, brown and white.  I have robes in most of those colors, as well. This is not because I have been ordained for over 40 years.  It, most certainly, is not because I receive a huge salary or the Church buys them, for me.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  I work on a very tight budget.  To get the assortment, of liturgical colors, I search eBay, for the best prices, on white clergy shirts, in my size. I know how to use our washing machine and clothes dryer.  Then, I have become, somewhat, of an expert, with RIT Dye and RIT Color Remover.  I have, also, used brands other than RIT, with equal success.  Contrary to the nature of my male gender, I read, and follow, the instructions.  For darker colors, I use two packages, of dye.  For lighter colors, I use 1 package and take the garment, out of the dyebath, when the color is, slightly, darker that that wanted.  Then, per the directions, I wash the garmet, with detergent, and put it in the dryer.  When dry, the garment will be lighter, in color, than when wet.  That is why I leave the lighter colors, in the dyebath, until they are a bit darker than the final color I desire.  Clergy shirts, dyed, total less than $15. Robes, dyed, cost less than $25.  I use Google, to find two-, and four-inch rolls, of velvet and have a member, of my Congregation, who is a seamstress, sew-on the Doctoral chevrons and frontal adornment.  By the time the robe is the "right" color and has the "correct adornments", the total cost is less than $35.  So, that is how I maintain liturgical color, on a very tight budget.  Female ministers can employ the same techniques and I have helped two, of them, get started.  If you have questions, or desire clarification, please email me. Peace be with you.
