OK, to try and make it Nixonic (perfectly clear), here is what our
Rule Of Life has to say about our clothing...

1. In keeping with section 1 of the Rule:

1a. Those belonging to this Confraternity shall dress in humble and
inexpensive cloth. Subdued, solid colors, as opposed to patterns and
designs, should be chosen. Colors shall be neutral shades (black,
white, cream, ivory, beige, tan, camel, brown, gray, charcoal, etc.)
in conformity with the colors worn by the first penitents and blue in
honor of the Blessed Mother who is the patron of the Confraternity of
Penitents. The penitent should strive to have only the least expensive
and minimum amount of clothing needed for comfort, employment, and
utility.

1b. The penitent should mix and match styles and colors so as appear
indistinguishable from other seculars and to avoid the appearance of a
wearing a habit. Thus penitents will do penance privately and
inconspicuously.

1c. For evident and necessary cause, a tem****ary dispensation on
clothing colors and quality may be given.
