I am wearing a brown robe that Ella made me. It is made of brown fleece and I wear it after I get through with my bath. If I had my druthers, I would wear it a lot.
There are things that you love to wear that are not really appropriate outside the house that you wish you could wear all the time. I told Ella that if she dies before me, I will probably wear nothing but brown robes like the Franciscans, and live in two rooms. One for my office and reception room and one for my small lonely bed.
I don’t know if I really will but I love my robe and I wait for winter each year to wear it. I still have a caftan my mother made me back in the early 70’s out of doubleknit that I cannot wear right now until I lose weight. One day I will. But it has been the clothing of every Bible character you could imagine in the past. It is just biblical enough to do well as Bible clothing.
Just a couple of years ago I played Judas/apostle number 4 in an Easter play. There were only four apostles due to lack of enough people, but the caftan did well.
That year I discovered that I could wear it unbelted. I had always worn a sash with it, but I discovered that it looked good unsashed. Not to mention that it was a lot more comfortable, as I have lost the sashed look long ago.
The brown robe is warm and loose and comfortable and would really make a good single piece of clothing. The Franciscan monks have a good idea, although they can’t get married and all. Ella would complain.
But still, it sure is comfortable.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
