Can you imagine walking around with this on your head?

I'd think that doorways would be problematic...

Very, very interesting project to preserve traditional habits by making sewing patterns to recreate them:  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1207...uns-habits

Something to keep an eye out for!

For overall aesthetic, The Franciscans of The Immaculate. Hands down.
