Commentary
6 notes on this verseThe cloths of service, to do service in the holy place,.... To wrap up the various vessels of the tabernacle, when removed from place to place; see Exo 31:10 or the priests' vestments, in which they did their service, and therefore it follows, by way of apposition: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office; for which there are particular directions in Exo 28:1.
This site's exposition
And the incense altar, and his staves
on Exodus 35:15-19
The list ends at the cloths of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons, so the last thing to be made is what a man wears to minister. Aaron is named in his office three chapters after he took the people's gold and made the calf at 32:2-4, and the text sets the two down without a word between them. Exodus 28:3 had already assigned those garments to the wise hearted, which is the same class of workman this chapter has been calling for.
This site's exposition
the woven garments for ministering
Adam Clarke takes the woven garments as cloths for common service, John Gill as wraps for the vessels on the march or the priests' own dress, and Albert Barnes as garments of office. Exodus 39:1 makes them from blue, purple and scarlet yarn.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the L ORD 's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

The clothes of service - Probably aprons, towels, and such like, used in the common service, and different from the vestments for Aaron and his sons. See these latter described Exo 28:1, etc.
