I was looking for a traditional monastic habit, and this one is exactly what I needed. The long tail hood hangs beautifully and the fixed hood gives a strong and prayerful look.
The long tail hood kept pulling on the back of the habit. It looked nice but made the garment feel heavy on my shoulders.
The gathered front and back help the habit fall naturally. It feels balanced and gives freedom to move during liturgy or walking in silence.
The habit is made well and the details are correct, but the fabric is not ideal for hot weather. It is heavy and warm. Best for winter or indoor use.
The habit works for traditional settings, but it takes time to get used to the weight and shape. The gathered back adds fullness, which some may like, others may not.
