A very nice boat hat (Chapéu de Raia, Canoa)
worn by the Spanish and Portuguese clergy in the 18th and 19th century
This wonderful boat hat was made by Mr Sergio Anzani of Cappelleria Melegari, Milan
See as well:
The Philippi headwear collection is currently the world’s largest collection of clerical, ecclesiastical and religious head coverings and is unique in both its scope and size. You will find examples of headgear from every religious persuasion around the globe, whether ceremonial or worn as part of everyday life. In addition, the collection includes 116 religious objects.
Is this the hat worn by the priest in "Song of Bernadette?" I know that they're French in that movie, but I can't seem to find anything else that looks quite right.
