{"product_id":"taupe-wide-collar-monk-habit","title":"Taupe Hooded Monk Robe with Cream Collar Panel, Friar Habit","description":"\u003cp\u003eA taupe wool habit with a short, oval cream panel across the chest like a wide collar, edged in cream again at the hood opening, worn over plain taupe sleeves and cinched with a tan rope belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cream panel here is shorter and more rounded than the full-length scapulars we cut on other habits. It sits across the chest and upper back, ending around mid-torso rather than running to the hem, so it reads as a collar or yoke rather than a scapular proper. The pointed hood has a cream edge trim to match. Sleeves are the same taupe as the body, with no contrast, and there are no pockets on this cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is a medium-weight wool with a smooth, brushed, matte face. It has enough weight to hold the shape of the yoke panel without needing interfacing, and it drapes cleanly through the skirt.\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 wool. 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\u003eThe plain taupe sleeves and rope cincture read as a generic friar base, but the short collar panel, rather than a full scapular, is a simplified cut of our own; it is not the dress of a named order, and the taupe-and-cream colouring is our choice rather than any community's. It suits monks, friars, oblates, novices and lay people who keep a rule of life, and anyone who prefers this less traditional silhouette for prayer. It also works well for someone who wants the look of a habit's collar and hood without the weight of a full-length scapular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery habit we cut comes in fourteen graded sizes plus Made to Measure; the price steps up with the chest size, and Made to Measure is priced the same as the L sizes. S runs 34-37in chest, M 38-41in, L 42-45in, XL 46-49in and 2XL 50-53in, and each size code carries a robe length of 54, 56, 58, 60 or 62in from the nape of the neck, so M-58 and L-56 differ in both fit and length. Send your own measurements instead if you would rather use Made to Measure. It pulls on over the head with nothing to fasten at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/religious-habits\"\u003ereligious habits\u003c\/a\u003e collection,
