The hat is a custom-made replica of the hat depicted in Holbein’s famous portrait of St. Thomas More. It was a gift from the St. Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia. We presented it to him in November 2010 as a memento of his participation in our 27th annual Red Mass and dinner.

Was Scalia, a Catholic who often speaks about his how faith frames his worldview, subtly stating his defiance of political authority, making an argument about religious freedom today, or was his head just really cold?
~ Elizabeth Tenety on Washington Post



That's the same hat Spanky wore from the, "Our Gang" series.

NO ONE EXPECTS the Scalia Inquisition!
(But considering his record, they probably should.)

Auditioning for a 3 Stooges remake?

As for Anthony Scalia not removing his hat I think it's Disrespectful/Rude . The hat if you can call it a hat, looks like a Matador's hat that got crushed by a Bull or somebody pulled the ears off a Mickey Mouse Cap.
