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

I suppose you're right. *sigh*

Maybe I should make a clergy headwear sublist....

Oh, let's face it, reesetee. This whole list reeks of the clergy.

Yes, I remember, sionnach. But I'm wondering why it's here. Perhaps it spotted the zucchetto?

reesetee: Three days ago you were regretting not having seen that very ad.

Comment by reesetee, 11 months ago

Why is an ad for priests' vestments showing up on this page, I wonder?

Ha!

Can you wear chapeau-bras over titfers?

Rats! I missed the ad. Though I do like the sound of ecclesiastical haberdashery. :-)

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

Not to worry. I have to check them myself--too many hats! :-)

Don't forget your tinfoil hat.

Then consider me a true perpilocutionist. :-)

If you're a true perpilocutionist you will add kamelaukion to your list.

Comment by reesetee, about 1 year ago

Thu, 15 May 2008 21:25:38 +0000

What? Well, I never, in all my....

Oh. Thanks, then. :-)

Comment by whichbe, about 1 year ago

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:54:26 +0000

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

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.

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

Well, you presently have 154 choices. :-) Let us know when you figure it out!

Comment by plethora, about 1 year ago

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

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:41:35 +0000

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. :-)

Comment by Prolagus, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:54:51 +0000

And how about the Sicilian coppola and the Sardinian berritta? And the Phrygian cap?

There's the bearskin worn by the Grenadier guards at Buckingham Palace.

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

But you're still doubly loved. :-)

Comment by bilby, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:38:38 +0000

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.

Blangkon is a traditional Javanese headdress that looks like this .

Comment by reesetee, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:27:14 +0000

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. :-)

Comment by frindley, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:18:55 +0000

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.

Thanks, frindley! Added--but being American, I used the U.S. spelling. :-)

Comment by frindley, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:31:05 +0000

Great list! How about a bishop's mitre?

Comment by plethora, about 1 year ago

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:54:37 +0000

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.

How about tuque?

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

How about casquette, a cap with a visor (MW3).
