* During the middle ages people wore clothing made of wool. The undergarments were often made of linen. A tunic was tied around the waist with a cloth or leather belt. Over the tunic was a scapula. A scapula was a garment consisting of a long wide piece of woollen cloth worn over the shoulders with an opening for the head. A hood was attached to the scapula. Some monks wore chains across the neck with a symbol of a cross or some rosary beads. Some colours that were designed were grey, black, brown and white christain monks wear a brown or grey robe with string material belt which shows that they are a monk and must not marry any lady etc it also shows they our a monk and love God!
