  Dress
     (1.) Materials used. The earliest and simplest an apron of
     fig-leaves sewed together (Gen. 3:7); then skins of animals
     (3:21). Elijah's dress was probably the skin of a sheep (2 Kings
     1:8). The Hebrews were early acquainted with the art of weaving
     hair into cloth (Ex. 26:7; 35:6), which formed the sackcloth of
     mourners. This was the material of John the Baptist's robe
     (Matt. 3:4). Wool was also woven into garments (Lev. 13:47;
     Deut. 22:11; Ezek. 34:3; Job 31:20; Prov. 27:26). The Israelites
     probably learned the art of weaving linen when they were in
     Egypt (1 Chr. 4:21). Fine linen was used in the vestments of the
     high priest (Ex. 28:5), as well as by the rich (Gen. 41:42;
     Prov. 31:22; Luke 16:19). The use of mixed material, as wool and
     flax, was forbidden (Lev. 19:19; Deut. 22:11).
     
       (2.) Colour. The prevailing colour was the natural white of
     the material used, which was sometimes rendered purer by the
     fuller's art (Ps. 104:1, 2; Isa. 63:3; Mark 9:3). The Hebrews
     were acquainted with the art of dyeing (Gen. 37:3, 23). Various
     modes of ornamentation were adopted in the process of weaving
     (Ex. 28:6; 26:1, 31; 35:25), and by needle-work (Judg. 5:30; Ps.
     45:13). Dyed robes were imported from foreign countries,
     particularly from Phoenicia (Zeph. 1:8). Purple and scarlet
     robes were the marks of the wealthy (Luke 16:19; 2 Sam. 1:24).
     
       (3.) Form. The robes of men and women were not very much
     different in form from each other.
     
       (a) The "coat" (kethoneth), of wool, cotton, or linen, was
     worn by both sexes. It was a closely-fitting garment, resembling
     in use and form our shirt (John 19:23). It was kept close to the
     body by a girdle (John 21:7). A person wearing this "coat" alone
     was described as naked (1 Sam. 19:24; Isa. 20:2; 2 Kings 6:30;
     John 21:7); deprived of it he would be absolutely naked.
     
       (b) A linen cloth or wrapper (sadin) of fine linen, used
     somewhat as a night-shirt (Mark 14:51). It is mentioned in Judg.
     14:12, 13, and rendered there "sheets."
     
       (c) An upper tunic (meil), longer than the "coat" (1 Sam.
     2:19; 24:4; 28:14). In 1 Sam. 28:14 it is the mantle in which
     Samuel was enveloped; in 1 Sam. 24:4 it is the "robe" under
     which Saul slept. The disciples were forbidden to wear two
     "coats" (Matt. 10:10; Luke 9:3).
     
       (d) The usual outer garment consisted of a piece of woollen
     cloth like a Scotch plaid, either wrapped round the body or
     thrown over the shoulders like a shawl, with the ends hanging
     down in front, or it might be thrown over the head so as to
     conceal the face (2 Sam. 15:30; Esther 6:12). It was confined to
     the waist by a girdle, and the fold formed by the overlapping of
     the robe served as a pocket (2 Kings 4:39; Ps. 79:12; Hag. 2:12;
     Prov. 17:23; 21:14).
     
       Female dress. The "coat" was common to both sexes (Cant. 5:3).
     But peculiar to females were (1) the "veil" or "wimple," a kind
     of shawl (Ruth 3:15; rendered "mantle," R.V., Isa. 3:22); (2)
     the "mantle," also a species of shawl (Isa. 3:22); (3) a "veil,"
     probably a light summer dress (Gen. 24:65); (4) a "stomacher," a
     holiday dress (Isa. 3:24). The outer garment terminated in an
     ample fringe or border, which concealed the feet (Isa. 47:2;
     Jer. 13:22).
     
       The dress of the Persians is described in Dan. 3:21.
     
       The reference to the art of sewing are few, inasmuch as the
     garments generally came forth from the loom ready for being
     worn, and all that was required in the making of clothes
     devolved on the women of a family (Prov. 31:22; Acts 9:39).
     
       Extravagance in dress is referred to in Jer. 4:30; Ezek.
     16:10; Zeph. 1:8 (R.V., "foreign apparel"); 1 Tim. 2:9; 1 Pet.
     3:3. Rending the robes was expressive of grief (Gen. 37:29, 34),
     fear (1 Kings 21:27), indignation (2 Kings 5:7), or despair
     (Judg. 11:35; Esther 4:1).
     
       Shaking the garments, or shaking the dust from off them, was a
     sign of renunciation (Acts 18:6); wrapping them round the head,
     of awe (1 Kings 19:13) or grief (2 Sam. 15:30; casting them off,
     of excitement (Acts 22:23); laying hold of them, of supplication
     (1 Sam. 15:27). In the case of travelling, the outer garments
     were girded up (1 Kings 18:46). They were thrown aside also when
     they would impede action (Mark 10:50; John 13:4; Acts 7:58).

     Dress parade (Mil.), a parade in full uniform for review.
        [1913 Webster]

  Dress
  
  Casual, vaguely post-hippie; T-shirts, jeans, running shoes, Birkenstocks
  (or bare feet). Long hair, beards, and moustaches are common. High
  incidence of tie-dye and intellectual or humorous `slogan' T-shirts. Until
  the mid-1990s such T-shirts were seldom computer-related, as that would
  have been too obvious - but the hacker culture has since developed its own
  icons, and J. Random Hacker now often wears a Linux penguin or BSD daemon
  or a DeCSS protest shirt.
  
  A substantial minority prefers `outdoorsy' clothing -- hiking boots ("in
  case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the machine room", as one
  famous parody put it), khakis, lumberjack or chamois shirts, and the like.
  
  After about 1995 hacker dress styles assimilated some influence from
  punk, gothic, and rave subcultures. This was relatively mild and has
  manifested mostly as a tendency to wear a lot of black, especially when
  `dressed up' to the limit of formality. Other markers of those subcultures
  such as piercings, chains, and dyed hair remain relatively uncommon.
  
  Very few hackers actually fit the "National Lampoon" Nerd stereotype,
  though it lingers on at MIT and may have been more common before 1975. At
  least since the late Seventies backpacks have been more common than
  briefcases, and the hacker `look' has been more whole-earth than
  whole-polyester.
  
  Hackers dress for comfort, function, and minimal maintenance hassles
  rather than for appearance (some, perhaps unfortunately, take this to
  extremes and neglect personal hygiene). They have a very low tolerance of
  suits and other `business' attire; in fact, it is not uncommon for hackers
  to quit a job rather than conform to a dress code. When they are somehow
  backed into conforming to a dress code, they will find ways to subvert it,
  for example by wearing absurd novelty ties.
  
  Female hackers almost never wear visible makeup, and many use none at
  all.
