Ritual robes were worn at the Royal Ancestral Shrine while performing ancestral services. The basic construction of a ritual robe is similar to that of a ceremonial robe, however, a ritual robe includes an ornamental collar made from white raw-silk, and a black silk robe, which is worn over a white inner silk robe. This robe, which was worn by Heung-wan Gun, is dark purple on the outside and white in the inside. The ceremonial skirt of this robe is the same as that of a ceremonial robe, whereas the red ceremonial apron is simplified to be hung on the chest.
