We were the Abby of St.Hubert the Huntsman. To my knowledge, they were all
white. The knots repersented the vows of obediance (see why I gave it up),
chasity (see why I gave it up) and poverty(and I was that way any way).
The friars robe was made out of a material called "Monk's cloth". It was
brown. It looked like burlap in its weave, but was much softer to the
touch. Please don't ask where to get it--I don't know. The outfit was made
by HL Noman's mother and I traded him a crossbow for it. As to the quality
of the garb, I was mistaken for a friar by a real Friar at an event at the
Munsonburg(SP?) Castle in Germany.
I don't off hand remember the references.
