Pulpit gown

The pulpit gown, also called pulpit robe or preaching robe, is a black gown worn by Protestant ministers for preaching. It is particularly associated with Reformed churches, while also used in the Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, and Unitarian traditions.

It is commonly called the Geneva gown, especially in Reformed churches. The garment in Lutheran churches is the talar (talaris vestis), also called priesterrock (priest's robe) or chorrock (choir or chancel robe).
