Monk Habit – Third Order Franciscan

If you are looking to cosplay or dress up as a medieval monk, make sure that you check out the Third Order Franciscan Monk Habit. This medieval monk outfit has five pieces. The set of garments includes a robe, scapular, mantle, hood, and a cord belt. All of the pieces are cotton.

Starting with the robe, this full-length brown garment has a rounded neckline and long sleeves. Traditionally, as pictured above, the scapular lays over the top of the robe. It is similar to a medieval tabard or surcoat in that it is sleeveless and open at the sides. The white scapular also has a rounded neckline.

Then, the brown mantle covers the shoulders, while the separate hood covers the head. The brown hood has a pointed shape. Finally, the white rope-like belt wraps around the waist and has knotted ends. This style of belt has the name of Franciscan cincture.

This medieval religious costume is ideal for historical reenactments as the outfit is a replica of the original medieval outfits. You can also easily wear it to a Ren faire or LARP event.

Franciscan History

The Franciscans were founded by Francis of Assisi in 1209. This outfit is a replica of the ones worn by the Third Order of Franciscans. It is comprised of men and women. This is in contrast to the First or Second orders, which are all men or all women respectively. In addition, this order includes married people unlike most other religious orders.
