The tippet is a long black scarf that resembles a stole but is completely different in origin or meaning. The tippet originated as a scarf of squirrel or bear fur to keep clergy warm. The fur is now gone but the black color remains. It is sometimes referred to as a “preaching scarf” as the tippet is worn by bishops and priests for Morning and Evening Prayer which are liturgies of the Word and preaching.
