Not sure whether to use まま or ままで

[Lomaster]

It feels like i'm missing some elementary knowledge here, but i just can't deduce when to add で after まま. 男は帽子を被ったまま教会に入るものではない。 Should i use 被ったままで instead? Why? Also what is the most generic word for headgear、被り物？

You can use both まま and ままで. The meaning is the same.

帽子 would be the best choice. かぶりもの has another meaning "mask as a costume play goods" nowadays.
かぶりもの - Google 検索

Now that's relieving. Thanks Toritoribe!

Couldn't find "edit" button which is weird. Just followed the link

かぶりもの - Google 検索

and realized that 「男はかぶりものを被ったまま教会に入るものではない」 would make even more sense =)

EDIT: It appears there's some sort of time limit on editing a post.
