  • mollusque commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 15, 2007

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

  • pterodactyl commented on the list hats-off

    How about tuque?

    April 17, 2008

  • plethora commented on the list hats-off

    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.

  • frindley commented on the list hats-off

    Great list! How about a bishop's mitre?

    April 17, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

  • frindley commented on the list hats-off

    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

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    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. :-)

  • bilby commented on the list hats-off

    Blangkon is a traditional Javanese headdress that looks like this .

    April 17, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    Looks comfy! Added.

    April 17, 2008

  • bilby commented on the list hats-off

    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.

    April 17, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    But you're still doubly loved. :-)

    April 18, 2008

  • frindley commented on the list hats-off

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

    April 18, 2008

  • Prolagus commented on the list hats-off

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

    April 18, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    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. :-)

    April 18, 2008

  • plethora commented on the list hats-off

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

    April 22, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    April 22, 2008

  • plethora commented on the list hats-off

    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

    April 22, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    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.

  • whichbe commented on the list hats-off

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

    May 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    Oh. Thanks, then. :-)

    May 16, 2008

  • whichbe commented on the list hats-off

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

    May 24, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    Then consider me a true perpilocutionist. :-)

    May 27, 2008

  • whichbe commented on the list hats-off

    Don't forget your tinfoil hat.

    May 30, 2008

  • dontcry commented on the list hats-off

    Oops! That's what happens when you think you've viewd all but you've only viewd some...my bad! *putting on dunce cap and sitting on stool.*

  • dontcry commented on the list hats-off

    THAT'S what happens when your finger is faster than your stuputer (stupid + computer)

    May 30, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    June 1, 2008

  • mollusque commented on the list hats-off

    How about mutch?

    September 22, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    Added--thanks, mollusque!

    September 22, 2008

  • bilby commented on the list hats-off

    billycock. Apparently it's something like a derby.

    November 19, 2008

  • whichbe commented on the list hats-off

    bicorne

    December 12, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    Listed, whichbe, but without the final E. Thanks!

    December 13, 2008

  • sionnach commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 13, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 13, 2008

  • whichbe commented on the list hats-off

    titfer

    December 16, 2008

  • bilby commented on the list hats-off

    Ha!

    Can you wear chapeau-bras over titfers?

    December 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 16, 2008

  • sionnach commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 16, 2008

  • sionnach commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    I suppose you're right. *sigh*

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

    December 16, 2008

  • chained_bear commented on the list hats-off

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

    December 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    It was an accident, I swear.

    December 16, 2008

  • chained_bear commented on the list hats-off

    Sure. Sure it was. I believe you.

    *smirk*

    December 16, 2008

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

    *double sigh*

    December 16, 2008

  • PossibleUnderscore commented on the list hats-off

    I want to start a hat collection. This list will be my guideline!!

    :-)

    March 3, 2010

  • dontcry commented on the list hats-off

    Would "The Cone of Silence" count?

    March 3, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore commented on the list hats-off

    Hah! I wonder if I can even find one of those.

    March 3, 2010

  • milosrdenstvi commented on the list hats-off

    If any of the rest of you slackers needs a reason to start a hat collection, this list will help.

    March 3, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore commented on the list hats-off

    Now that my curiosity is tickled, the link won't work! Can you repost it Milos?

    March 3, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore commented on the list hats-off

    Wait, did you mean this list?

    *is confused and flustered*

    March 3, 2010

  • ruzuzu commented on the list hats-off

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

    Edit: Specifically, Hats, Uses Of.

    March 3, 2010

  • milosrdenstvi commented on the list hats-off

    Oops, forgot to close a quotation mark.

    March 4, 2010

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

    March 4, 2010

  • ruzuzu commented on the list hats-off

    I love this list. I've been adding some over on Trochee's list, too.

    December 24, 2010

  • reesetee commented on the list hats-off

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

  • hernesheir commented on the list hats-off

    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".

    January 2, 2011

  • kalayzich commented on the list hats-off
