Pilgrims clothing

[David and Theresa]

I read a post, sometime a while back, on what the pilgrims of old were required to wear to signify they were pilgrims, can someone help me find, thanks in advance

There are lots of medieval illustrations showing pilgrims wearing long tunics, long cloaks, and floppy brimmed hats. They usually carry a scrip or leather bag slug across their shoulder. Woollen clothing is surprisingly weather proof, I've done a bit of medieval re-eneactment andmy cloak, which has shruk and felted somewhat, keeps out anything other than torrential rain and is warm to sleep in.
