Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 39: ferraiolo
You likely saw one of these during the recent papal election. It's a long cape, running from the shoulders to the ankles, bound by fabric strips tied around or near the neck. Color varies by rank, as with most vestments. They're typically non-ornamented and worn for formal, non-liturgical occasions.
The best-known wearer of one of these was Bishop Fulton Sheen, who always donned one during his TV appearances. I don't know if you can use the phrase "big pimpin'" in relation to Catholic vestments, but if you can, you'd probably use it for someone wearing one of these.
