The French surplice page was my 'fault'. I was looking for images of that many-plated overgarment LJ was talking about. As only the images counted and this popped up through my Dutch Google search I did't care to change it. I can find no plated stuff.(was interested to see how it looked)

Holy moly! I did the Onelook search for cucu*--there are a LOT of words that start with those letters!! Here, Luke--take a look, since I don't know what I'd be looking for: Onelook I found the word: cuculla, probably plural form of cucullum because it was so ample. second paragraph: http://www.osb.org/gen/habit.htmlNow I just need to find a picture of it. There is a monk on You Tube wearing one, but don't know how to get it to this thread, any more than I can put a picture here. (still working on Twosleepy's directions.)

Looks like what we used to call a choir robe. If I can make out the details through the black on black motif

This what you meant? I kept confusing pleated with plated or scaled. Now, after searching 'pleated garment'/ images I know what pleat means.

It's possible. I cannot find a good picture of the cucula,
but I talked to a monk and he said the picture we have here
is OK, but not adequate. The cuculla is far more ample and
filled with pleats around the shoulders and collar, which this
one is not (but then there are different "brands" of Benedictine
monks, e.g. American Cassinese, Swiss American, etc.) The pleats
have names for various saints and virtues, etc. At least
I got something into the thread (pun) on fiber.
