Why is most religious garb a robe of some kind?
>>41408623because they look cool i guess (also something about modesty and to distinguish from labourers and other people not belonging to the clergy/monks/preachers etc... who wore something different)
>>41408623Simplified tailoring? In cases of mendicant monks, easier to just lift up and piss or shit. There might be cases where modesty is maintained because even the curviest nun looks like a shapeless blob in a large enough robe. What the overt /x/ answer though? It helps you fly or you can use it to swing at demons and trap them? I don't know.
