"As regards the use of the alb, the practice has varied from age to age. Until the middle of the twelfth century the alb was thevestment which all clerics wore when exercising their functions, and Rupert of Deutz mentions that, on great festivals, both in his own monastery and at Cluny, not only those who officiated in the sanctuary, but all the monks in their stalls wore albs. The alb was also worn at this period in all religious functions, e.g. in taking Communion to the sick, or when assisting at a synod. Since the twelfth century, however, the cotta or surplice has gradually been substituted for the alb in the case of all clerics savethose in greater orders, i.e. subdeacon, deacon, priest, and bishop. At present the alb is little used outside the time of Mass. At all other functions it is permissible for priests to wear a surplice."

What do priests wear during Mass?
.Catholic AnswerA priest wears an amice and an alb, tied with a cincture. Over that he puts his stole, some priests wear a maniple, especially if they are celebrated in the Extraordinary Form. Over all of that they wear the chasuble. All of this is called his vestments.A priest normally may wear a cassock all the time, as a lay-man would wear a suit jacket. Unless the priest happens to be the Holy Father, his everyday cassock would be black, if he is a Bishop, then it would have purple buttons, and purple piping, if he is a cardinal, it would be red buttons and piping. When he goes to celebrate Mass, over that he would wear an alb, a long, white robe: Priests were an alb: a long, floor length white robe. If it doesn't completely hide their collar and street clothes, then they wear an amice around their neck. The alb is tied with a long white robe called a cincture. He then wears a stole, which is a narrow, long piece of cloth that goes around his neck and falls knee length on either side. Over all of that he wears a chasuble.
