Welcome to Cassock-u-like
This is a website designed for clergy who wish to sell/give away vestments and books that they no longer need, and those who wish to find second hand vestments and books that they can afford. It is not a business. We are funding the site ourselves but we do hope that people who advertise will make a small donation to charity. Click on the Charity button on the navigation bar to read about our chosen charity: Send a Cow and visit their site. As we are not a business and are funding the site ourselves we will not advertise goods for those running a small business. However, we are developing a links page to provide some links to some of our favourite sites. If you are interested in having a link then please get in touch.
The basic idea is this: Fill out the listings form, submit it to us, and we will get the details onto the site within about 7 days. You choose how much you want to sell for. You can even give your items away if you want! Anyone wanting your item then contacts you by phone or email, and you make your own arrangements. If you want an item, list your requirement in the same way. Once you have sold your item, contact us and we will remove it from the site. Use the link buttons below
My sister Emma and I have been talking for years about the idea of some sort of exchange for no-longer-wanted clerical wear. The idea first began when I realised how expensive my new work-wear was going to be. It developed as I changed jobs and started to need different items. I had a preaching scarf, academic hood and cassock that I no longer used. None had had more than three years of use. All were in very good condition. I saw no point in taking them to the charity shop. I wanted them to go to a good home. So we decided that it was time to set up a website for everyone to use. We went live in April 2005 and are still building the site. In February 2006 the website was re-organised so that you might find it easier to navigate. Please let us know how you get on.
We hope this website will fill a niche
in the church community. If you have any ideas of additional things it can offer,
please do
