What Wikipedia says

The humeral veil is one of the liturgical vestments of the Roman Rite, also used in some Anglican and Lutheran churches. It consists of a piece of cloth about 2.75 metres (108 in) long and 90 centimetres (35 in) wide draped over the shoulders and down the front, normally of silk or cloth of gold.
