Someone is in our Middle Ages wearing her ruffs. (Well, that's not exactly what she wrote, but my genetic composition prevents me from writing in CatMacro.)

So I figured I needed to put this up: It's from the Kyoto Costume Museum and it depicts a 16th century Japanese convert to Christianity. (I would love to find the original artwork this is based on....)

As I said, I am dying to see the source this was taken from. While he is wearing a crucifix, it is not outside the realm of possibility he is simply doing so because it looks "cool."
