Arguably, the term mitre or miter is not in Scripture but the development of men. The Jewish priests wore a turban like headdress known as the 'Mitznefet' which had a gold plate on it called the 'Tzitz' which was inscribed with the words 'Holiness of YHWH.' This term however, is often translated into the Greek as 'mitre.'

The mitre in a two-sided cone shaped head wear first worn by RC Church bishops and some abbots and them became popular in the Anglican Community, Lutheran, Orthodox and Eastern Christian faiths. Today, one may see this being worn by all Bishops, Cardinals and the Pope of the RC Church, etals.
