She knew quite well to what I was going back, to what I wanted to go back-the Mellah, the gaberdine, and the rest of it.
"The Turnstile"
A. E. W. (Alfred Edward Woodley) Mason
The burly burgher, in round-crowned flaunderish hat with brim of vast circumference, in portly gaberdine and bulbous multiplicity of breeches, sat on his "stoep" and smoked his pipe in lordly silence; nor did it ever enter his brain that the active, restless Yankee, whom he saw through his half-shut eyes worrying about in dog day heat, ever intent on the main chance, was one day to usurp control over these goodly Dutch domains.
"Knickerbocker's History of New York, Complete"
Washington Irving
And I hate this spiritual Fatherhood when it puts on the garb of a priest, the three-cornered hat of a Jesuit, the hood of a monk, the gaberdine of a rabbi, or the jubbah of a sheikh.
