And does it ever show through the clothes? Do others know they are wearing it?

Everyone in my family wear the brown scapular. It is easily visible. People ask about it and i tell them the story. It used to be given out at the same time as we got our rosay beads when we did our first communion. Every traditional Catholic i know wears it. Good ones are made in California.

Scapulars have not have been given something to do with superstition they're like quite a few different holy image a Sacramental, an outward image of the guy's faith. they're oftentimes worn below outfits in touch with the flesh. the thought that if one dies in His Grace collectively as wearing a scapular they could have merited forgiveness of a few if not all their temporal punishment. that's not a assure that temporal punishment has been forgiven yet extremely a potential that the guy could have merited the certainly Grace needed as a manner to be forgiven their temporal punishment.

I did for a long time, I was amazed I had 1 good habit that stuck! (2 years.)
I don't wear it anymore to prevent people thinking I'm a good person, as the scapular reminded me I am not that good, and after my marriage failed, it felt weird.
It did protect me for a long time, or whatever it is for(?).
I keep it with my rosary and other religious material. Maybe it is still working?
I had found a green one and when it wore away I sewed it to my sturdier brown one.

A Scapular was given to Simon Stock by the Blessed Virgin Mary, back in the 1500's I believe.
It is to protect you from evil and harm, and to be worn in faith, going to church, and saying the rosary.
God bless all.

No idea. Did someone take a poll?
As far as I know, you wear it underneath. Sometimes the string peeks out, but a person who wears it would be dressing modestly, and the string wouldn't show.
Probably their family knows. You interested in being vested?

Yes, you can usually tell, but so what?
