Dieter,
ReplyDeleteIt is my understanding that Franciscans do not wear birettas. Would this not be true of a bonetes as well?
Your are right. Franciscan neither wear a brown biretta nor a bonete. This one was asked from a Franciscan friar in Great Britain. Maybe he will wear it.
DeleteIt was made as a gift for a friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteHe will not wear it, rather it will adorn the hat stand of the Friary.

From what I understand, the Conventual Franciscans (OFM Conv.) can wear a biretta. Of course, it wouldn't be brown. They wear black or grey.
