[ if this person continues to say that Jesus was wealthy, then you might point out all those verses in Post #87. There’s some significant stuff there, and hard to deny as to what it means...]
I try, but some people refuse to acquiesce to Scripture.
It’s almost political.
BTW... They took Herod’s robe away from Jesus and put
His old clothes on Him before they sent him down the
Via Delarosa toward the cross.
This means that Jesus’ clothes were most likely pretty
shredded and dirty from His encounters first with the
Jews and then with the Romans.
What do you think?
You said — It’s almost political.

Ummm..., “health, wealth and prosperity gospel” ...

And then you asked — What do you think?

I’ve got to go back and look at the Gospels again and compare notes between them... I don’t know off the top of my head.
MOSTLY what we can have at this distance is opinions.
In terms of weaving . . .
Weaving a tube is easily enough done.
Probably it would be best to begin weaving from the hood down.
The hood would be the trickiest part. However, one would basically be weaving a tube open on two adjacent sides. Weaving in a drawstring at the time would take some tricky needle weaving in addition . . . seems to me . . . but is quite doable.
At the shoulders to the bottom of the arm holes, the garment would be woven as one tube. Beginning at the bottom of the arm holes, one would use 3 shuttles and begin weaving 3 tubes for the two arms and the body of the robe.
I don’t really see the need for a single seam. Of course, weaving it wherein the hood would take a seam on the top and a folded over seam for the draw string would be a lot EASIER. That is the way I made mine as well as a seam for the arms attaching to the garment at the shoulders. But it’s not strictly necessary.
Interesting.
Thx.
Ahhhh.
You must be extremely talented.
Do you have pictures of the one you made?
I did consider making a tube, but could
see that it would still need to be attached
to the jacket either with a needle stitch
(a seam) or by picking up the stitches from
the weave edge of the coat and continuing
the fabric from that point down on each
side for the sleeves.
This is fascinating to me.
The garb looks like mens' short-sleeved pajamas to me.

Goodness. That was . . . more than 25 years ago. It was too snug a fit and I gave it away. My loom is only 26 inches weaving width. Sorry. No picture.
My understanding of how to do things is probably a bit greater than my practiced skill level.
The transitions from various forms and sizes of the tubes for a seamless version would be critical to get right but they are fairly straightforward.
Double layered cloth—which a tube is one form of—requires—usually—double slayed/threaded heddles & reed—because, of course, you are weaving two layers at once.
And, sometimes, because of the winding on the cloth beam, one layer gets stretched out longer—the top layer than the bottom layer—and that can be a problem in longer pieces. However, it’s usually less of a problem with tubes as the tube sort of evenly keeps it all together better.
I think the trickiest part would be the transition from the hood to the shoulder and from the bottom of the arm-pit to the 3 tubes. But it is a fairly straight forward sort of thing. One just needs to be sure that the tie-ups and treadling are accurate—and that there’s no stray warp thread out of place—nor weft thread, for that matter!
Mistakes in such a complex project can be a real disaster.
Thanks for your kind affirmations. God has blessed me with a lot of things I enjoy doing.
I think I have your email.
I’ll try to give you an invite by email to some photos of my loom contraption. I don’t recall if there are photos of my weavings off the loom, or not.
It will be to my private webshots.com page.
Do you suppose that they just weren't expecting to see someone walking around that the last time they had seen Him he was dead?
Not sure how I would recognize or respond to any of my friends three days after I had attended their funeral.
By our standards every one then was dirt poor. And we know that He suffered all the neediness. worry and temptation we all do.
