Monk Robe – Black

The smell of disease is rancid in the streets, but you are the Plague Doctor. All you smell are the fresh lemon balm and rose hips in your mask, protecting you from the lethal miasma of the dying.

You wear a mask, leather gloves, and your Benedict Robe as your protection from the dangers of the world’s illness, shielding you just as a knight’s armour protects him from a fatal strike. To everyone else, you are a symbol of knowledge and healing…but also the harbinger of death. Looking into the blackness of your mask’s eyes feels like exposing one’s soul, and so even your patients harbor fear at your presence.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Robe Benedict, or the Monk Robe, is an all-purpose robe made from textured cotton and secured below the neck with a cotton tie-string through a soft-leather plate. Whether it is worn open or closed, this versatile long-sleeved robe is an essential when adding layers to almost any character’s costume. The robe’s hood, roomy sleeves and length combine ease of movement with the best degree of protection from wind, rain or sun. Made from cotton, this robe is easily made waterproof.

This textured cotton product is nice to the touch, with enough heaviness to drape well. It has an irregular thread that gives it a textured appearance.

MAINTENANCE

As a heavy-duty fabric, this product is heavier than simple cotton. This material wrinkles easily, but can be ironed on a higher-heat level.

Machine wash at 30°C / 104°F. This product will leak dye. Please make sure to wash once before use in order to make sure that remaining dye will be removed from the product. We advise washing alone, using colour-catching sheets or only washing with similar coloured clothes to reduce the risk of dye imprint.
