He should be dressed similar to the guy who's head explodes at  the end of 
Raiders of the Lost Ark.

This to me makes it more accurate.

Thanks to both--I did find Flavius Josephus's description of priestly garb  
in his History of the Jewish People.  So I read about the vestment  (with 
fringe and bells around the bottom), sash, and breastplate.  He says  the 
vestment was blue, so I'm assuming the shellfish blue still used in  prayer 
shawls; 
however, I think the pageant coordinator is going to insist on  black.  I 
figure I can live with black as long as I can do the sash,  fringe, and 
breastplate 
and an appropriate headdress.   
 
My husband has a beard--I think that is one reason he got the part.
 
I'm pretty sure I can do this without patterns, but thanks for the  links.

Dear List,
My husband will be playing Caiaphus in our church's Maundy Thursday pageant.? 
Where can I go for costume information beyond the draped in a bedsheet 
variety?

Thanks.

These aren't truly absolutely historical, but give the expected look 
for a church pageant:


Both Simplicity and McCalls have biblical patterns - McCalls is 
easier, as it is all rectangles (or almost rectangles) - no set in 
sleeves.  It does have a dropped shoulder, so the fit is a bit baggier.


http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M2339.htm?tab=costumespage=5

Simplicity has two - a dropped shoulder pattern (which I haven't 
used) and a set-in sleeve pattern (which is still easy).  They are:


http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=4213   (dropped shoulder)
http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=4795   (set in sleeve)

They all include wraps, cloaks, extra collar/pectoral pieces, 
etc.  To get Caiaphas mostly depends on fabric choice and 
trimming.  Caiaphas should have a breastplate (large square pendant 
on chain) with 12 stones on it, as he was the high priest.  He also 
should have a beard.


Hope this helps -

Sandy and Pierre (who have done waaay too many religious-themed costumes).
