I could be a vegan in sackcloth and flip-flops, but I find fabulous boots with periwinkle cuffs a far preferable option.

Originally, sackcloth was a common material for everyday goods but is now outdated.

Sackcloth may be used metaphorically to represent poverty or simplicity in literature.

The term isn't widely used today except when referencing historical clothing or objects.

Sackcloth symbolizes deep sorrow or mourning, often used in religious or literary contexts.

Wearing 'sackcloth and ashes' indicates humbling oneself to show repentance.

In biblical times, 'sackcloth and ashes' connoted penance, still referenced in modern culture.
