#x--Precedents:-Definition:Definition:

June 2015 - On Hats

Two submissions this month proposed to register hats. Because hats have always shown a huge variety of shapes and size, we cannot define a "generic" standard hat. All registerable hats need to be clearly defined so as to be reproducible from the blazon. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2015/06/15-06cl.html#6

#x--Precedents:-Registerability:Registerability:

(Restricted, Reserved, SFPP, OOP)

From the March 2013 Cover Letter:

From Wreath: Pelican Hats We asked commenters about further defining the restricted regalia of the Order of the Pelicans. When it was originally listed on the October 1998 Cover Letter as "(Fieldless) A chapeau", it went into the Ordinary and Armorial database as "(Tinctureless) A chapeau". The question arose as to the precise definition of _a chapeau_ -- a cap of maintenance, specifically red or not, or a hat of any kind?

It seems quite unfair to the rest of the populace to declare that hats of any kind in any color are restricted to the Order of the Pelican, and we are positive this was not the original intent. While there are some minor variations across the Society, it seems clear from discussion that Parker's definition of a chapeau as "a cap of maintenance...generally of red velvet turned up with ermine" is typically what is meant here. Several kingdoms use _argent goutty de sang_ as a variation on ermine, and while that is an obvious SCA conceit, we are willing to allow it.

In order to avoid confusion in the future, we are therefore clarifying that the restricted regalia of the Order of the Pelican is:

* "(Fieldless) A cap of maintenance gules trimmed ermine" * "(Fieldless) A cap of maintenance gules trimmed argent goutty de sang"

This change also will be updated in the Reserved Charges section of the Glossary of Terms. While there is not usually a DC between types of hats, only an actual cap of maintenance is considered a reserved charge. [[7]]
