Mozzetta - a shoulder cape that has a collar and is buttoned all the way down the front. The red color is a vestige from the days when scarlet was the Papal color (white only became associated with the papacy after the Napoleonic wars). The Papal mozzetta had a small hood on the back, which disappeared after Vatican II but has recently been restored. In wintertime, the Papal mozzetta is of red velvet trimmed with ermine (this also fell out of use after Vatican II, but Pope Benedict XVI began again to wear a winter mozzetta trimmed in ermine fur). In summer, the Papal mozzetta is of red satin.

Cardinals wear things that are scarlet, including a cassock, mozzetta, biretta and zucchetto. They also sometimes wear red socks.

The cardinals' scarlet vestments were traditionally made from an insect, from the History of Fabric dyes on ehow mom website:

(Pope Paul II) He ground up the kermes insect to create "cardinal's purple" which was actually a scarlet dye. This dye became the new murex, or luxury dye, of that time.

This has been replaced in modern times by chemicals.
