I'm a computer science professor in Melbourne, Australia although my views have naught to do with my employer. I skylark as the band leader/singer for the Schnapps Band.
My high schooling was in Chabad and I continued at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh in Israel.

On that topic – there is an illustrated book about the Beth Hamikdash. In one of the pictures you see the PAYIS for the Mishmrot Hakohanim. The PAYIS was done in the hat of one of the Kohanim. The illustrator had a problem: How can he draw a Kohen in the Azara without a head covering? What he did, he drew a Kippa on the PORAPEDIGE head.
It might have been a Litvishe Yarmulka.

Must have been a litvishe illustrator. A chassidic one would have had a shtreimel or spodik
