scapulars
Monks' layered aprons
Scapulars are shoulder feathers on a bird, forming a distinct patch where the wing meets the body.
In Catholic practice, a scapular is a devotional garment—two small cloth squares connected by strings, worn over the shoulders under clothing as a sign of religious commitment: She wore a brown scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
