Priests wear vestments so, if you're in (a) vestment, you're dressed like a priest. And you talk about making an investment of time and effort into a project, etc.

vestments are robes worn by a priest
A priest wears vestments so he is 'in vestments'

Invest

"we have invested a considerable amount of time in demonstrating the value of the system"
synonyms: spend, expend, lay out, put in, plough in, use up, devote;
Such things are known to us earthlings...
