Candor Grey Robe

A Grey monastic robe with a scapular cape

The Candor pairs a medium neutral dove grey robe with a scapular cape that covers the shoulders and back. It is a practical, traditional habit for communities that wear grey, equally suited to choir, chapter and the work of the house.

Signature feature: hooded scapular cape

A deep hood is joined to a scapular cape that lies across the back and shoulders. It adds warmth and a layered, monastic look, and gives a finished line to the back of the robe when the hood is down.

Construction

The robe is cut full-length with a relaxed body and generous sleeves. An ivory rope cincture ties at the waist and is knotted at the side, so the ends hang neatly away from the front of the habit.

Fabric choice and care

Choose breathable cotton (included) for everyday wear in the cloister, chapel and garden, or lightweight tropical suiting (+$30) for a smoother drape and comfort in hot, humid climates. Cotton: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang to dry and press with a warm iron. Tropical: dry clean, or hand wash cold and steam to refresh. Store on a broad hanger so the hood and shoulders keep their shape.
