If you ever tried to walk up a set of stairs in a floor length cassock without a cincture, you would realize immediately - from your position on the floor - that a cincture is to hold in your cassock at the waist. It allows you to walk up stairs without holding your skirt up like a girl.

The cord used to tie the alb is called a cincture. It is typically a long rope or ribbon that is tied around the waist to secure the alb in place.
2 answers
A cincture is part of the liturgical vestments worn by clergy, around or slightly above the waist. It's a long rope, often with knotted ends, or with tassels. When clergy are wearing an alb, the cincture is worn outside. The colour may change, depending upon seasonal colours. In Catholicism, the cincture of a bishop is made with intertwining threads of green and gold, where a Cardinal's has red and gold. The Pope would wear a Cincture of gold and white.
In a few Anglican Churches, as well as in Lutheran and Methodist Churches, it can also be referred to as a girdle. In almost all Protestant Churches using vestments, it's referred to as a girdle.

There are no Augustinian monks, Augustinians are Friars. They were a long black robe with a black shoulder cape (called a capuce) and a rope cincture.
1 answer
You may be referring to the cincture, a liturgical vestment worn encircling the body around or above the waist.
The cincture is a long, rope-like cord with tassled or knotted ends, tied around the waist outside the alb. The colour may be white, or may vary according to the colour of the liturgical season.
When the cincture is tied in the front and the ends draped on either side, it is called a Roman Knot. Besides its functional role in securing the alb and stole, the cincture bears a symbolic role, signifying chastity and purity.
The Vesting Prayer recited by the priest as he wears the cincture is as follows:
"Gird me, O Lord, with the cincture of purity, and quench in my heart the fire of concupiscence, that the virtue of continence and chastity may abide in me."
On the other hand, if you refer to that which the priest wears around the back of the neck, then you mean the stole, the vestment that marks recipients of Holy Orders.
The stole is a liturgical vestment consisting of a band of colored cloth about seven and a half to nine feet long and three to four inches wide, whose ends may be straight or may broaden out. The center of the stole is worn around the back of the neck and the two ends are on the front, parallel or crossed over the breast.
The corresponding Vesting Prayer would be:
"Lord, restore the stole of immortality, which I lost through the collusion of our first parents, and, unworthy as I am to approach Thy sacred mysteries, may I yet gain eternal joy."

Catholic AnswerA priest wears an amice and an alb, tied with a cincture. Over that he puts his stole, some priests wear a maniple, especially if they are celebrated in the Extraordinary Form. Over all of that they wear the chasuble. All of this is called his vestments.A priest normally may wear a cassock all the time, as a lay-man would wear a suit jacket. Unless the priest happens to be the Holy Father, his everyday cassock would be black, if he is a Bishop, then it would have purple buttons, and purple piping, if he is a cardinal, it would be red buttons and piping. When he goes to celebrate Mass, over that he would wear an alb, a long, white robe:
Priests were an alb: a long, floor length white robe. If it doesn't completely hide their collar and street clothes, then they wear an amice around their neck. The alb is tied with a long white robe called a cincture. He then wears a stole, which is a narrow, long piece of cloth that goes around his neck and falls knee length on either side. Over all of that he wears a chasuble.

That depends on what they're doing. A priest normally wears a cassock or a black suit with clerical collar for his street wear. In church he would normally wear a cassock and a surplice. For some liturgical functions, he wears a stole and cope, for others, just a stole over his cassock and surplice. For Mass, he wears an alb over his cassock, with a stole, maniple, and cincture. Over all of that, he puts on a chasuble. His stole, maniple (if he is wearing one) and chasuble are all the color of the day, or sacrament that he is celebrating.

Over that he would put on the alb, an ankle length white, linen robe;
this is fastened with a cincture, a rope like affair that goes around the waist and hangs down at the sides.
Over that he wears a stole, a long, narrow, scarf like affair that hangs around his neck, over his shoulders, and down in front.
He may wear, unless he is celebrated the Old Mass, in which case, he must wear a maniple on his forearm, it is just like the stole, only smaller.
Finally he puts on the chasuble, a poncho like vestment that classically was richly decorated.
On his head, he wears a zucchetto (a skullcap), and over that he puts on the Biretta, a three cornered square hat with an optional pom-pom like thing on it. He removes the Biretta when he arrives at the altar, he removes the Zucchetto before he starts the canon. He removes the maniple during the sermon, and puts it back on afterward. In the Old Mass, the sermon was not considered part of the Mass - which is why it was in the language of the people.

Answer A Cathlolic priest who is a monsignor (an honorary title) wears the same vestments as any priest when celebrating the Eucharist. The colour of a monsignorial cassock is different from that of a priest. There are three levels of monsignor: Chapain: Black cassock with purple trim and purple sash. Honorary Prelate: Black cassock with red trim and purple sash. On formal occasions they wear a purple cassock. They do not wear a pectoral cross or a skull cap as do bishops. Apostolic Protonotary: These dress in the same manner as honorary prelates, but have the option of using a purple cape (trimmed in red) on formal occasions.

A Friar's "dress" is called a habit as are the garments worn by all religious in Holy Orders including nuns. Historically, habits are worn in imitation of the founder of any Order eg. The Franciscan Order of Friars Minor. The habit worn by Franciscans is a simple long gown with long sleeves. They also wear a "cowl" which is a garment slipped over the head to form a loose collar- the cowl also incorporates a simple hood which can be pulled up over the head. Also historically, the habit is worn as symbol of humility and is made of a simple and oftentimes rough fabric of a very basic colour: usually black, brown or grey, although white is a colour that may be incorporated depending on the Order.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Habit, Religious. The distinctive garb of a man or woman religious, its use dating back to the beginnings of monasticism. The habit was prescribed for religious by the Second Vatican Council: "The religious habit, an outward mark of consecration to God, should be simple and modest, poor and at the same time becoming. In addition, it must meet the requirements of health and be suited to the circumstances of time and place and to the needs of the ministry involved" (Perfectae Caritatis, 17).

Priests throughout the medieval period wore a white linen alb, a long garment with full-length sleeves that was the mark of all non-monastic clerics. Either flat-soled shoes of tan or black leather were worn on the feet, or decorated shoes of cloth with leather soles.
Over this was worn a long, white linen scarf with decorated and fringed ends - the stola. A smaller maniple (a kind of handkerchief) was attached to the left sleeve. A separate linen collar called an amice was put on and turned down over whatever outer robes were then worn.
The outer garments depended on the type of service to be performed; either a silk poncho-like chasuble or a woollen cope (a kind of cloak with a fastening strap across the upper chest), of various colours aligned with the Church calendar. All of the different garments would be decorated with embroidery, depending largely on the priest's financial status (many were extremely poor).
Despite the wildly inaccurate images in modern popular fiction, brown was never worn by priests and black was onlyworn for funerals.
The priest's hair was supposed to be shorn in the Roman tonsure, but some were fined for not complying.

Catholic AnswerThe priest wears a long white robe called an alb over his street clothes, if it does not completely cover his neck wear, he first puts on an amice over his shoulders and around his neck. He ties the alb with a cincture around his waist. Over this he puts on the stole, which is the color for the Mass, and the color as his Chasuble. The stole is his "badge of office" and shows that he is performing a sacrament in the person of Our Blessed Lord; the Chasuble is the large poncho like robe, usually very rich, it is sleeveless and symbolizes the yoke of Christ and signifies charity..
The priest wears several items, some of which have been repressed in the liturgical changes since the 1960s. Here are the historical and present vestments in the order they are put on as well as a brief history and their relation to Christ and His passion, which the Mass actually is, though now in an unbloody manner:
The Amice - a large white napkin with two strings hanging from two of its four corners. A small cross is sewn at its bottom. The priest places it upon his head and then rests it on his shoulders and then recites the vesting prayer.
Vesting Prayer: "Place, O Lord, on my head the helmet of salvation, that so I may resist the assaults of the devil."
The priest then secures it by wrapping the strings around his torso and tying them mid-waist. Priests once wore a hood that they would throw back when reaching the altar before beginning Mass. Monks, who have working cowls (hoods) still do this.
Represents the crown of thorns.
The Alb - A white robe, sometimes decorated with intricate lace if it is a great feast.
Vesting Prayer "Make me white, O Lord, and cleanse my heart; that being made white the Blood of the Lamb I may deserve and eternal reward." Symbolizes purity of mind, heart and body. It goes over the amice.
Represents the garment in which Jesus was mocked by Herod.
The Cincture - a linen rope which is fastened about the waist to secure the alb.
Vesting Prayer: "Gird me, O Lord, with the cincture of purity, and quench in my heart the fire of concupiscence, that the virtue of continence and chastity may abide in me."
Represents the ropes by which Our Lord was bound and led.
The Maniple - a strip of cloth, now often embrodered and made of the same material as the stole and chasuble (these three items often come in matching sets, along with a chalice veil and burse). It is worn on the left arm of the priest, secured above the wrist. It is the color of the Mass.
Vesting Prayer: "May I deserve, O Lord, to bear the maniple of weeping and sorrow in order that I may joyfully reap the reward of my labors." It was not originally a sacred vestment, but a sweat cloth to wipe the priest's face during long services in the heat of southern countries. Pious legend also say it was used to wipe the tears of devoted priests as they said the Mass. This might account for it being formalized into a proper vestment (priests would now use a handkerchief from their trouser pocket to wipe their brow, as the maniple is far too ornate and respected for such a use now).
Represents the chains used to secure His hands at His scourging
The Stole - A long, thin breadth of cloth that the priest places over his head. He crosses the ends over his breast before securing them within loops in the cincture left for this purpose. Once a civil mark of the upper class, it developed into a sign of spiritual authority. It is the color of the Mass.
Vesting Prayer: "Restore to me, O Lord, the state of immortality which I lost through the sin of my first parents and, although unworthy to approach Thy sacred Mysteries, may I deserve nevertheless eternal joy."
Represents the cross which Our Lord carried.
The Chasuble - The outer garment, almost always embroidered with a magnificent cross, the word chasuble comes from the Latin "casula" meaning "little house". It is the color of the Mass. It is much like a tent, which is another term for tabernacle, an appropriate metaphor as the priest celebrates before the tabernacle of God (note: modern churches have removed their tabernacles from the altar and celebrate facing the people, voiding this metaphor) even as he acts as the tabernacle of Christ, Who celebrates the Mass through the priest grace a his ordination. The chasuble comes in two fashions, although only one is now widely used. Originally, the chasuble was an immense circular robe with a hole cut in the top that it might be thrown over the head to wear. Later, to better accommodate the actions of the priest (he required assistants to help manipulate the robe), it was cut down the sides, making a violin shape, to facilitate arm movement for saying Mass. This style was ornately decorated and of stiff material, and has all but been discontinued in the modern Catholic Church, though retained by congregations that have conservative sympathies. The originally circular design has been popularly restored, although modern enthusiasm sometimes chooses fabric that makes the vestments to resemble a raincoat, and has become free in its application of iconography, sometimes substituting the cross for abstract designs.
