DOMUS BIRETTARUM KEEPS A PROMISE

In my post dated a couple of weeks ago titled "And Why Not?", on the bloggers and makers of birettas at Domus Birettarum, Lapin made a request in the comments:

How about a biretta in the exclusive Ratfinger Tartan?

Team DB responded:

Dear Lapinbizarre,

Please see our blog on Tuesday in Holy Week. You may well find what you are looking for, with a little speculation about where it might be worn...

Best wishes,

Team DB

Team DB came through on Tuesday as promised, but I've not had time to link until now. And there it is below, the tartan biretta in all its splendor. I hope Team DB doesn't mind that I copied their picture. Who knows but that a prospective customer for the tartan biretta may land on my blog site? Please read their speculation on where the biretta may be worn.



And if Team DB will indulge me with a copy of one more picture of a biretta which I think is gorgeous....

I simply could not resist stealing the photo of the white biretta with the black pom-pom pictured below. The biretta is rich, with the stark contrast of black on white. See the suggested use for the biretta.



Has the team ever conceived of or created a black biretta with a white tassel?

"AND WHY NOT...?"

From an all-biretta blog titled Domus Birettarum.

About the biretta in the picture, blogger Admin says:

...a Spanish Biretta with a tree in the middle of it. This is for a Spanish Philosophy Degree, apparently, thus explaining the need for a large brush on the top and a cascading fringe effect. And why not, we ask ourselves?

Not only do the bloggers blog about birettas, they create made-to-order birettas.

We hope you enjoy the content of this Blog. It is an endeavour of love and for entertainment rather than a deeply serious endeavour. We are merely enthusiasts and creators of clerical headgear, usually the more outlandish and unusual the better.

We also aim to provide our efforts gratis for those who genuinely cannot afford them, at home or abroad. For those who can afford to pay, we can produce bespoke birettas for the price of materials and a suggested (but optional) amount to keep us going.

How kind of them! I wonder if the bloggers create birettas for les femmes d'un certain âge.
