    Simple

    A simple mitre is made entirely without ornament - usually made with plain white silk or linen - and can be trimmed with either red or white fringe on the lappets. It is typically used at funerals, Lent, and Good Friday.

    Gold

    Gold Mitres are worn by Bishops presiding over the celebration of the sacraments. They are typically made with a plain cloth of gold, or white silk with contrasting orphreys.
