Original Note:
The garment shown in the video is a capriote. It is a piece of religious clothing worn by Catholic priests for select religious observances. The use of the capriote pre-dates the founding of the KKK, which was formed in 1865. The KKK would later appropriate its use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirote https://books.google.com/books?id=pfjtDwAAQBAJ&dq=Capirote+kkk&pg=PA217#v=onepage&q=Capirote%20kkk&f=false
