The cassock isn't tradtitional daily clothing for clerics? What?

NLM: Clerical Dress in the City of Rome in the 19th Century (Part 1 of 2) and Clerical Dress in the City of Rome in the 19th Century (Part 2 of 2)

What did clerics in Rome wear everyday? The abito corto or abito d’abate. See the posts for more info and photographs. So is the modern clergy suit a fitting successor? It would seem so.

I don't mind that stockings have fallen out of fashion for men.
