Woven in ecru and white with four thin black timelines, "Prophet 2,000" represents the wisdom from the next 1,000 years. The cape is woven with a warp of one of the oldest fibers known to man—a bast fiber (in this case flax linen). A weft of Dynacor, a manmade viscose fiber, alludes to the industrial revolution. The weave structure is a network drafting on advancing twill.
