@isaacfreeman I am uncertain if I like the co-leaders thing. I think if you are gonna be run by a group it should be something with a cool name like The Triumvirate, or the Shadow Council. Which reminds me, again, that the UK has a role called “The Shadow Chancellor" and my heart is full every thing I remember that fact. #Robes #Shadows #BigChairs #MasksMaybe #Cloaks #BigHats

So we're all thinking, "Gonna catch this plainchant train".
And, "#Robes where do I get robes?"
Poplin is a low cost, light fabric. Pretty sure it is available in brown.
If you're safe with scissors and a #Sewing machine then you're a fifth of the way there.
If you've got a junk bedsheet then making a trial model out of that could be informative.
Unless we can find a #Pattern?
(See below. Though they used cheap knitted fabric.)

Are robes worn as an excuse to not wear underwear?
