The alb is light brown and the cincture and scapular are black. Some members in tropical climates choose to wear these elements in white. A belt sometimes is substituted for the cincture. A side rosary is optional. A black zucchetto or skull cap is worn by some of the brothers.
Sandals are appropriate in warm weather.
A silver or pewter pectoral San Damiano cross hangs on a neck chain. A small cross is worn by candidates and novices, while a larger version is worn by professed members. Upon making life-profession, a member may wear a silver ring featuring the San Damiano cross, on the ring finger of the right hand. The habit is worn for liturgical celebrations, public events, and community gatherings.
