Yes, you will! *hee* And Pam, it has to be black; Dr. Dee would never have worn purple, ever, not even at home. He was way too conscious of having Elizabeth as his patron and would never presume. He was a quite shy man who really felt quite awkward out in public.
It HAS to be raw silk and it's a scholar's robe and hat, with linen shirt and wool knee britches...it's all very clear in my head. Natural fibers for the esoteric work that he does. Plain and simple but well-made; he didn't have the money nor the tastes for finery but he dressed suitable so as not to stick out nor shame himself in front of his patron.
