A rochet or rotchet is a linen garment worn by bishops under the chimere, or black satin robe to which the lawn sleeves are usually attached. It was at one time the ordinary garment of a bishop. It is akin to the surplice, and should, according to ancient usage, have tight sleeves. It is shorter than an alb, reaching only as far as the knees. The present chimere dates back to the reign of Elizabeth I.
