Vest versus Vestment? What's the difference?

[Ashenfall]

Since I've never seen, nor heard of a "vestment" in real life, what the heck is the difference between these two?

Obviously, a vest is an lighter garment than a vestment, but what makes a vestment a vestment?

Quote:

Armor: suits of armor.
Belts: belts and girdles.
Body: robes and vestments.
Chest: mantles, shirts, and vests.
Eyes: eyes, glasses, and goggles.
Feet: boots, shoes, and slippers.
Hands: gauntlets and gloves.
Head: circlets, crowns, hats, helms, and masks.
Headband: headbands and phylacteries.
Neck: amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, and scarabs.
Ring (up to two): rings.
Shield: shields.
Shoulders: capes and cloaks.
Wrist: bracelets and bracers.

Vestments are what priests in many religions wear. Think big fancy robes crossed with an old timey dressing gown.

Yar.

Google is your friend.

As are dictionaries, and sometimes even Wikipedia.
