Sackcloth signifies repentence--all the most stylish Bible characters wear them! I'd love to see more of the kind of outfits you'd expect to see Jesus or John the Baptist or Old Testament prophets wearing...

I'm not sure exactly what sackclothes are supposed to look like... just rough, loose-fitting Biblical-type clothes I guess. Tan or black (I think there's a verse indicating some of them are black) would probably be best. Maybe somebody who knows more about Biblical dress styles can design it??

In real life I often wear a black gi and black hakama a lot because I'm a ninja priest :P Oh and I was gonna suggest a Liberty Cap (Phrygian Cap) but you already have a sleep cap that looks more or less like it.

Here's some more information I found --

Sackcloth
cloth made of black goats' hair, coarse, rough, and thick, used for sacks, and also worn by mourners (Gen. 37:34; 42:25; 2 Sam. 3:31; Esther 4:1, 2; Ps. 30:11, etc.), and as a sign of repentance (Matt. 11:21). It was put upon animals by the people of Nineveh (Jonah 3:8).
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary


A rough cloth of camel's hair, goat hair, hemp, cotton, or flax.
Garments made of this cloth, worn as a symbol of mourning or penitence.American Heritage Dictionary

penitential garb, c.1300, from sack (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sack) (n.1) + cloth. In the Biblical sense it was of goats' or camels' hair, the coarsest possible clothing.
