royal apparel: Esther 5:1, Esther 6:8, Esther 6:11, Genesis 41:42, Matthew 6:29, Matthew 11:8, Luke 16:19

blue: or, violet, Esther 1:6

and with a great crown: Mordecai was now made the chief minister, or vizier, instead of Haman; and was accordingly invested with the "royal apparel," in conformity to the custom of the East. So we are informed, in the History of the Revolt of Ali Bey, that on the election of a new sheikh bellet, or chief of the country, in Egypt, the pasha who approves of him invests him with a robe of valuable fur. Perhaps the crown was one of the insignia of the office of vizier. Concerning the blue, fine linen, and purple; see note on Exodus 25:4, and see note on Exodus 39:27.

the city: Haman was too proud to be popular: few lamented his fall. Esther 3:15, Proverbs 29:2

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king,.... And walked or rode about in the city to show himself to his friends:

in royal apparel of blue and white; such as the Persian kings wore, and were not allowed to any other, as Xenophon writes g:

and with a great crown of gold; a coronet, such as princes and nobles wear; the latter Targum calls it a great golden chain, and such the eastern kings used to give to their favourites; see Daniel 5:29,

and with a garment of fine linen and purple; this must be an inner garment, since it is distinct from the royal robe before mentioned; though as the word signifies a wrap, or roll, it may design a turban, which was a roll of linen wrapped about the head; and such was the Persian diadem, according to Curtius h, which was of a purple colour, mixed with white; and so the Septuagint version is, "and a diadem of fine linen, of a purple colour"; and if so, the crown of gold was not worn on his head, nor is it likely it should be allowed, but was carried before him, Daniel 5:29- :,

and the city of Shushan rejoiced, and was glad; not only the Jews in it, but the native inhabitants of it, that had any sense of humanity, expressed their joy at the sight of Mordecai thus arrayed; that so good a man was advanced at court, and so bad a man as Haman was displaced and put to death; see Proverbs 29:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the Esther 1:6 note. The “crown” was not a crown like the king’s, but a mere golden band or coronet.

A garment - Or, “an inner robe.” The tunic or inner robe of the king was of purple, striped with white.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 8:15. Blue and white — Probably stripe interchanged with stripe; or blue faced and bordered with white fur.

A great crown of gold — A large turban, ornamented with gold, jewels, c.

Fine linen and purple — See on Genesis 41:42. The בץ buts, here mentioned, is most probably the same with the byssus of the ancients supposed to be the beautiful tuft or beard, growing out of the side of the pinna longa, a very large species of muscle, found on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, of which there are a pair of gloves in the British Museum. This byssus I have described elsewhere.

Shushan - was glad. — Haman was too proud to be popular; few lamented his fall.
