Bishop Andrewes cap
The Bishop Andrewes cap is a recent[academic cap as part of academic dress before it developed into the modern mortarboard as it is known today.[1] The cap is named after Bishop Lancelot Andrewes who may or may not have worn this style of cap at all.
The cap is similar to the mortarboard save that it does not have a hard board to stiffen the top square. Instead, it is soft and floppy. Instead of a
pompom
of silk at the centre of the apex. It is usually made of black velvet.
The cap is currently prescribed for the full academical dress for a
the Burgon Society
