Hierodeacons (i.e., monastic deacons) will remove the Greek, Modern (1453-);: epanokalimavkion when they are vested and serving at liturgical services; if they are not serving, however, they will wear it whenever attending services.

In the Russian tradition, the Greek, Modern (1453-);: epanokalimavkion of an archbishop has a jewelled cross stitched to the front of it near the crown of the Greek, Modern (1453-);: kalimavkion.

The Patriarch of Moscow's Greek, Modern (1453-);: epanokalimavkion is often richly embroidered with seraphim or other symbols on the lappets and is attached to a conical Greek, Modern (1453-);: kalimavkion called a Greek, Modern (1453-);: [[koukoulion]].

On Mount Athos, particular practices may vary from monastery to monastery, but generally speaking—in the Greek monasteries, at least—the Greek, Modern (1453-);: epanokalimavkion is not attached to the Greek, Modern (1453-);: kalimavkion, but is merely laid over it. The reason for this is that the Athonite typicons call for it to be removed from the Greek, Modern (1453-);: kalimavkion and laid over the shoulders at certain moments during the services.
