{"product_id":"black-burgundy-scapular-habit","title":"Black Hooded Monk Robe with Burgundy Scapular, Monastic Habit","description":"\u003cp\u003eA black habit with a burgundy scapular and hood, tied with a black rope cincture, with no embroidery or applied decoration anywhere on the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe habit pairs a black tunic with a burgundy scapular that runs the full length of the body, front and back, and a burgundy hood set at the top of it. The scapular is a plain straight panel with no ornament worked into it. The hood carries a moderate point and stands rather than lying flat. The sleeves flare wide in the same bell shape as the rest of our range. A black rope cincture ties at the waist, its tasselled ends left hanging. No pocket breaks the line of the tunic, and the hem is left plain at floor length; getting into the habit means pulling it on over the head, since there is no front opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cotton is smooth and matte, with a structured drape that holds a clean line and wrinkles very little. Colour is where this habit does its work: a black tunic set against a burgundy scapular and hood, with the black cincture matching the tunic rather than the scapular above it. Nothing is embroidered or appliquéd on the cloth in any of the photographs we have of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis habit is made in either cotton or wool, and the choice is yours on this page. Cotton is lighter and breathes in warm weather; wool is heavier and holds more body in the fall of the skirt. The photographs show the cotton. The price changes as soon as you choose the cloth, and again with the size code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho wears it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and burgundy together are not the historical dress of any one order: no order pairs the two in its habit, and we chose the combination for contrast rather than to echo a particular community. The tunic-scapular-hood construction underneath is generically Benedictine-style. Monks and oblates whose community has taken up this pairing wear it day to day, and lay people keeping a private rule of prayer choose it for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFourteen codes make up the size range, each a chest measurement matched to a robe length: S 34-37in chest, M 38-41in, L 42-45in, XL 46-49in, 2XL 50-53in, with a length of 54, 56, 58, 60 or 62in from the nape of the neck to the hem. Made to Measure, the fifteenth option, is priced the same as the L sizes. It goes on over the head, with no fastening of any kind at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee related colour-blocked cuts in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/religious-habits\"\u003ereligious
