That third one is a hat? It looks like an inverted dog-food bowl.
Do the other parties in these encounters get to try on a zuchetto?
[Hesper: to recite vespers very, very quietly.]
I wonder if it made PB16 nostalgic for the time he was known as the 'Pope's rottweiler'?

Police or military hats?
Hell, he wears an ancient one all the time when presenting himself as a "bishop" or "pope".
What do you think a mitre is, for God's sake? A Byzantine camelaucum worn by Imperial court officials, still in use in the Imperial state religion that has survived the Empire.
