[Constitutiones synodales ecclesiae Constantiensis, 1481]

...on the outside with lined pleats, but they shall use tight sleeves and other decent things. They shall not wear shoes or slippers that are dishonest or indecent, nor [shoes] with laces outside the ankle, nor pointed [shoes] or those extended with long points. However, it shall be permitted for those traveling for a reason to use shorter garments. They shall wear the tonsure and crown coming to their state, order, or dignity according to the sanctions of the canons. They shall not walk about armed, nor carry swords or long knives, and [they shall not do so] unless by chance it happens that they need to travel outside their city or places, or they do so for the defense of the church and their own things with the license of their superior. Furthermore, we strictly inhibit the wearing of mantles open and cut in the front, and otherwise closed on all sides, and tightened around the neck with a large belt, as well as doublets with sleeves scarcely covering the elbow of the arms, with their necks appearing bare in the front and back in the manner of thieves who carry themselves shamefully. But they shall use garments congruent with clerical honesty as they wish to avoid our grave vengeance and canonical [sanctions]. The transgressors of this statute shall know themselves to be suspended from the fruits of their benefits for the space of one month. The disposition of these fruits we reserve to our own arbitration, yet mildly through the aforementioned. We do not intend to derogate from the things regarding the life and honesty of clerics, nor from the ordinations of the sacred general councils of Constance and also Basel, and other laws which treat of the indecency of vestments.

Furthermore, we strictly inhibit clerics who are to receive sacred orders, while traveling, from insisting on games of dice in inns or other enormous or base acts of theirs. But they shall live honestly and clerically; otherwise, we wish them to be suspended by that very fact from the reception of orders for every time.

On the same matter

And furthermore, wishing to obviate the novelties of habits devised against clerical decency, we decree and sanction by the present constitution, strictly prohibiting that from now on any cleric, religious or secular, of our city and diocese shall presume to wear mantles closed in their entirety from one side, and cut open in other parts at the shoulder and down to the hem in such a way that the garments they wear beneath them can be seen, or to wear garments or tunics sewn with pleats in the front and back. But all shall be content with garments congruent with clerical honesty and the order of each, according to the disposition of the law and provincial and synodal statutes, and that they shall not grow their hair long, but shall wear their head hair not too long in the front or back, as they wish to avoid the penalties of the canons and the aforementioned statutes and our own and canonical vengeance.

In a similar manner, we command and order that the beneficed clerics of our city...
