Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 19: camauro
The camauro is a winter hat worn by the pope, generally red with white ermine trim. And even for papal headgear, it's dopey looking. It's somehow related to academic headgear as something monks wore to make up for tonsure-related heat loss. It's apparently one of the many bits of papal clothing that Benedict XVI brought back from disuse, and for my money should be the first one the new guy puts in the back corner of the closet.
