Tailor undeterred as mystery surrounds choice of attire for the next pope; AP explains

The conclave to elect a successor for Pope Francis is the first in over 46 years that the Vatican has not ordered three cassocks for the new head: One small, one medium and one large to cover all possible heights and girths. That isn't stopping Ranieri Mancinelli from making three simple white cassocks in Pope Francis’ unadorned style just in case. (AP Video/Florent Bajrami)
