Until Erasmus received his 1505 and 1517 Papal dispensations to wear clerical garb, Erasmus wore versions of the local [[Religious habit#Canons regular|habit of his order]], the [[Canon regular|Canons regular of St Augustine]],  Chapter of Sion, which varied by region and house, unless travelling: in general, a white or perhaps black [[cassock]] with linen and lace choir [[rochet]] for liturgical contexts, or otherwise with white ''{{lang|la|sarotium}}'' (scarf) (over left shoulder), or [[almuce]] (cape), perhaps with an asymmetrical black cope of cloth or sheepskin (''{{langx|la|cacullae}}'') or long black cloak.<ref>Shoes, Boots, Leggings, and Cloaks: The Augustinian Canons and Dress in Later Medieval England [https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-british-studies/article/shoes-boots-leggings-and-cloaks-the-augustinian-canons-and-dress-in-later-medieval-england/B282527E658BD79FCFBDB6100D5BDA93]</ref>

From 1505, and certainly after 1517, he dressed as a scholar-priest.<ref name=":4">Treu, Erwin (1959). pp.20–21</ref> He preferred warm and soft garments: according to one source, he arranged for his clothing to be stuffed with fur to protect him against the cold, and his habit counted with a collar of fur which usually covered his nape.<ref name=":4" />

All Erasmus' portraits show him wearing a knitted scholar's bonnet.<ref>{{multiref2|1={{cite journal |last1=Kruseman |first1=Geeske M. |title=Some Uses of Experiment for Understanding Early Knitting and Erasmus' Bonnet |journal=EXARC Journal |date=25 August 2018 |issue=EXARC Journal Issue 2018/3 |url=https://exarc.net/issue-2018-3/at/some-uses-experiment-understanding-early-knitting-and-erasmus-bonnet |language=en |issn=2212-8956}} |2={{cite journal |last1=Malcolm-Davies |first1=Jane |last2=Kruseman |first2=Geeske |title=Erasmus' bonnet |journal=Kostuum |date=1 January 2016 |url=https://www.academia.edu/40168789}} }}</ref>
