Priestly Vestments God ordered Moses to make special
garments for Aaron his brother (and the Levites), and the priests to use at the time of the service, “And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and beauty.....to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest” (Ex 28:2-3)
The passage mentions these garments: a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a skillfully woven tunic, a turban and a sash. (see video)

20:12)“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white
garments…”(Rev 3:5).“And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” (Revelation 19:8).
