White Benedictine Habit
This habit features a fixed hood with a long tail, staying true to the classic Benedictine design.

Whether used in monasteries, during liturgical services, or as part of sacred costume, the White Benedictine Habit offers a faithful representation of monastic tradition with practical comfort.
Key Features :
- The habit includes a classic fixed hood that is sewn into the garment and cannot be removed. The hood features an extended tail at the back, a distinctive element of authentic Benedictine monastic attire, symbolizing humility and spiritual focus.
- Crafted from 100% raw cotton, this fabric is breathable, soft, and comfortable for long hours of wear. Raw cotton also provides a natural texture and feel, ideal for those seeking simplicity in both appearance and lifestyle.
- The robe is designed to fall freely from the shoulders to the ankles, offering modest coverage and allowing easy movement. Its loose, unstructured form supports the Benedictine value of detachment from material concerns.
- The pure white tone symbolizes purity, peace, and spiritual dedication. It’s especially suitable for religious ceremonies, feast days, or roles that require a symbolic visual presence.
- Suitable for both men and women, the Benedictine Habit is available in multiple sizes and cuts for a comfortable, inclusive fit.
This white habit brings peace the moment I put it on. The fabric is not too heavy, and the cut allows quiet movement during daily prayers and work. The fixed hood and wide sleeves reflect the traditional Benedictine style. I am grateful for the careful stitching and spiritual design.
