Biretta worn by a priest in Alegia, Spain
This biretta is made by an injection moulding machine using some artificial textile material.
In Germany you can buy such a model to combine with a fancy dress worn during carnival (Mardi Gras). Sometimes this kind of hat is called "Don Camillo Hat" after the character Don Camillo Tarocci.
