Admittedly, I don't yet have the benefit of all prior investigations, so contributions are most welcome.
There still seems to be a great deal of visual, if not stylistic, differences between the various depictions of the chaperon. Sometimes it's described simply as a 'hood'. Still looking for a *white* one.
The 'sack hat' description sounds a lot like the VMs depiction. Imagine transposing the hat in post #165 with the VMs. So, where and when were there sack hats in Italy? Was there any traditional or political reason that the Italian 'sack hats' were made in *white*?
Which element might be more familiar in a medieval context: Italian fashion or the Cabochien revolt? What is the primary factor for the VMs archer's hat: style or color? Is it really necessary, from a VMs perspective, to separate them??? The VMs artist is perfectly capable of mixed metaphors and all kinds of tricks. I've got a list of them.
Not meaning to cut corners, just opening a can of 'terms' to see what topics might crawl out.

Yes, the white chaperon was adopted by the Cabochien faction in their brief revolt. And the Cabochiens were then aligned with John the Fearless / Jean sans Peur, Duke of Burgundy (d.1419). They were defeated and expelled from Paris, but the Burgundians came back with the English occupation of Paris after 1420.
