On the other hand surplice (or cotta) is a liturgical vestment used both by clergy and altar boys. The biggest difference between them is in sleevs. Surplice has very wide and loosely fitting sleevs. Contrastingly sleevs of rochet are tight and are lined with silk of white (the Pope), scarlet (cardinals) or amaranth colour (rest), depending on rank of prelate. Rochet always has lace so that the lining of sleeves may be seen thought it. Surplice doesn't need to have lace, same with alb. I don't blame you for confusing them. Most people do, since they look very similar especially if a surplice has lace.

Being a fan of this type of restorative work, I've been able to satisfy my own desires to participate in it by restoring some 3D objects myself. While not on the same level, the satisfaction of doing so, is no less rewarding. Over the years, I've sought out chalkware depictions, otherwise known as, Bossons heads. Specifically, I looked for ones that had varying degrees of damage, which usually results in purchasing them for deeply discounted prices, then set out to restore them, using patching compounds and various paints, and the blending thereof. Ultimately, after some practice, they turn out amazing, and the reward is having little works of art, that you yourself, salvaged! Yes, they hardly compare to the truly aged, historic works of art, but they do satisfy one's desire to express their inner hidden talents, and to be just a little bit like Julian!
