It looks to me to be a scholars gown, with black velvet perhaps for the
upper body area, and maybe guards down the front. However, since the
shadows are also in the same/similar darker pencil lines, I am not
positive if that isn't just to represent shadows as well.
It's that upper part I'm concerned about. I don't see yokes in men's
clothing this early, and it's been suggested to me that this gown has a
yoke. Even as a re-drawing, I'm hesitant to say that's why the top part
is darker. I'm thinking it's just been colored badly.
Unless someone knows of a real example of a yoked gown from the 1400's....
