  • hernesheir Augustus Henry Keane's Codex Vaticanus No. 3373 (Codex Vaticanus B), p. 210, 2nd line, mentions "the eagle-feathered head-dress quauhtemalli of the Sun God".

    Searches for additional instances of the word quickly run off into the oft-repeated supposed source of the name Guatemala, quauhtemali, "rotten wood". Jan 2, 2011

  • reesetee Thanks, r. I'll need to check out that list in case I can yoink something. ;-)

  • reesetee Wow. If we mushed up Milosrdenstvi's list with this one, we'd have a virtual Handbook for Hat Wearers. Mar 4, 2010

  • milosrdenstvi Oops, forgot to close a quotation mark. Mar 4, 2010

  • ruzuzu I think Milosrdenstvi means the list with being doffed and hiding a bald spot.

  • PossibleUnderscore Wait, did you mean this list?

    *is confused and flustered* Mar 3, 2010

    *smirk* Dec 16, 2008

  • reesetee It was an accident, I swear. Dec 16, 2008

  • chained_bear Wow, reesetee. I never thought there'd be something of yours that might reek of the clergy. After all, few things do. Dec 16, 2008

  • reesetee I suppose you're right. *sigh*

    Maybe I should make a clergy headwear sublist.... Dec 16, 2008

  • sionnach Oh, let's face it, reesetee. This whole list reeks of the clergy. Dec 16, 2008

  • reesetee Yes, I remember, sionnach. But I'm wondering why it's here. Perhaps it spotted the zucchetto? Dec 16, 2008

  • sionnach reesetee: Three days ago you were regretting not having seen that very ad. Dec 16, 2008

  • reesetee Why is an ad for priests' vestments showing up on this page, I wonder? Dec 16, 2008

  • bilby Ha!

  • whichbe titfer Dec 16, 2008

  • reesetee Rats! I missed the ad. Though I do like the sound of ecclesiastical haberdashery. :-) Dec 12, 2008

  • sionnach Ooh, look! Ads for tasteful ecclesiastical garb. Though sadly it doesn't seem to be ecclesiastical haberdashery. Dec 12, 2008

    Oh. Thanks, then. :-) May 16, 2008

  • whichbe While you were galericulated, you forgot to doff your gibus (an opera hat), and thus you were a perpilocutionist. May 15, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks for the reminder. I do need to get to these comments some day. Maybe on Saturday, after I'm through washing my water buffalo. Apr 22, 2008

  • plethora If it's here, it doesn't have a definition or any comments. Tomorrow I'll take a photo of it and see if anyone can help, maybe. :D Apr 22, 2008

  • reesetee Well, you presently have 154 choices. :-) Let us know when you figure it out! Apr 22, 2008

  • plethora I knew this list would come in useful! I bought a new hat today, and I want to find out what it's called. Apr 22, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks, guys! Frindley, I just couldn't think of the name for that enormous thing, believe it or not. Prolagus, is a berritta similar to a biretta? Just wondering. :-) Apr 18, 2008

  • Prolagus And how about the Sicilian coppola and the Sardinian berritta? And the Phrygian cap? Apr 17, 2008

  • frindley There's the bearskin worn by the Grenadier guards at Buckingham Palace. Apr 17, 2008

  • reesetee Hey! How come I could delete it? Passing strange....

    But you're still doubly loved. :-) Apr 17, 2008

  • bilby Sorry about the double comment. I tried to delete it but it doesn't work the way it used to. You'll just have to love me twice as much for the time being. Apr 17, 2008

  • reesetee Looks comfy! Added. Apr 17, 2008

  • bilby Blangkon is a traditional Javanese headdress that looks like this . Apr 17, 2008

  • reesetee Hmm. Good argument. To be democratic, I'm adding mitre too. After all, if we can have three spellings of copotain, we can have two of this word. :-) Apr 17, 2008

  • frindley Interesting. I must confess I took wikipedia as my democratic guide to preferred spelling on that one, but it seems others have been there before us, e.g. "Duncan" who reports:

    So when I was preparing my previous post on an anti-Catholic sculpture, I encountered the eternal spelling conflict…

    So I fire up the spell checker called Google. I Google mitre and get about 767,000 hits. I Google miter and get about 415,000 hits. I Google "bishop's mitre" and get about 1,560 hits. I Google "bishop's miter" and get about 741 hits.

    The American Heritage dictionary (which I use for my modern dictionary) has the usual weasel words about mitre "Chiefly British -- Variant of miter." But then its entomology entry says:

    Middle English mitre, from Old French, from Medieval Latin, from Latin mitra, headdress of the Jewish high priest, from Greek.]

    This suggests that mitre is closer to the word origin.

    The online Catholic Encyclopedia prefers mitre. The OED likes mitre as well. So I guess it's mitre for me.
    end of extended quotation Apr 17, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks, frindley! Added--but being American, I used the U.S. spelling. :-) Apr 17, 2008

  • frindley Great list! How about a bishop's mitre? Apr 17, 2008

  • plethora How about a legionnaires? They're those caps with the flap at the back to protect your neck. Most often worn by little boys up to about 10, sometimes in school uniform colours. Apr 17, 2008

  • pterodactyl How about tuque? Apr 17, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks, M! Though it sounds a little morbid, if you pronounce it the wrong way. ;-) Dec 17, 2007

  • mollusque How about casquette, a cap with a visor (MW3). Dec 15, 2007
