Now that's where I have to go on vacation!
The diocesan museum of the archdiocese of Munich-Freising in Bavaria offers this stylish vitrine: Those are the cardinal's clothes of Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber (1869-1952, archbishop of Munich-Freising from 1917 until his death, created a cardinal in 1921). Freising was one of those typical Southern German prince-bishoprics. Disbanded in 1802, it was joined with the nearby Munich to form todays archdiocese.Well, what we see here is a purple choir dress including a cappa magna with hermine upper part, a red-watered silk cappa magna, a galero, a mantelletta, red shoes with buckles, a capello and an abito piano with ferraiolo. Man, this reads like my shopping list.

I wonder if a somewhat more recent ordinary of Munich-Freising ever wore the cappa during his short tenure there? Probably not. Cappas were not in vogue in the '70s.
That's "abito piano" or "habitus pianus"
I know, I was just checking if anybody paid attention ;-)
