Cardinal's hat, in Britain

I believe the answer is:

mitre

(Other definitions for mitre that I've seen before include "Sort of joint" , "episcopal head may come under this" , "top?" , "Bevelled joint that forms a corner" , "Type of joint - bishop's hat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
