    1. Title: Hat plus Yarmulka

      Ideally, a hat is not in place of a yarmulke but in addition to it (Mishnah Berurah 91:12; Piskei Teshuvos 2:10). There are thus two layers of covers on one’s head during davening. At shacharis, the tallis covering one’s head will be the second layer. This reminds me of the time when I attended a Chabad bris. Since those who were to receive kibudim were only wearing a yarmulke, one of the Ba’alei Bris went around putting an additional yarmulke on the heads of these people.
