Have a look as well at this color chart.

The two skull caps above are made by the famous supplier of goods for the church and the clergy J. Wippell and Company Limited, Exeter, Great Britain.

Anglican skull cap versus Roman Catholic pileolus (zucchetto, soli deo)
The Anglican skull cap is much more higher than the Roman Catholic pileolus. It is made of 6 segments with a buttom on top, the Roman Catholic of 8 segments with a little stem of twisted cords on top. The Anglican is made of polyester the Roman Catholic of silk.

    2. Hi, Sir. I am still amazed at your collection. Thank you for the zucchetto pattern. I'll be going soon to my tailor to try it out. The biretta pattern you put in your blog is very effective as well. My classmates appreciated it much. Thanks again!!!

  7. The Wippell's skull cap, BTW, is 100% wool, not polyester.
