Practical and Durable Design

Commentators explain that the opening for the priest's head was reinforced with a strong binding, similar to a military coat of mail or 'habergeon.' This practical design prevented the garment from tearing under the weight of the other vestments or from repeated use, showing God's concern for durability and quality craftsmanship.
