What do you call winter hats?

[Staggerlee]

I am from southeastern Ohio and we call them toboggans but since I moved to Columbus everyone thinks I'm weird for calling them that. Around here they just call them hats or sometimes beanies. What do you call them and have you ever heard them called toboggans?

beanies

But beanies are more form factor to the head and never have I seen any with anothing attached, like a ball on top.

I wear beanies a lot.

Hurly-FOX-North Face all have great beanies

I had an awesome cowboys one but I lost it over the weekend and that is what prompted this discussion. I am less than pleased about losing it.

Aren't tobaggans something you sled on? Or am I crazy.

You should buy this one as a replacement.

Odd because thats what we called sleds when I was growing up too, but if you Google it, its mostly hats.

So everyone is right in this thread. WooHoo! Nobody is wrong and we can all get along.

We call them the same in WV and when I have used the term elsewhere I get that look like you talk about. So sometimes I will say skull cap or knit cap and they seem to get it. Never called it a beanie though.

I wear mine a great deal due to some ear problems. Even if it is warm outside but very windy or raining.

Winter??????

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Never heard the term toboggan used for a hat.

I am from DC, Born in NY and lived all over.

I always called it simply a winter hat or even a winter cap.

A beanie to me is the hat that is a little bigger than a yarmulke. A smaller fuzzy wool skullcap.

Tobaggans? Beanies?

What odd names for hats those are. Where I'm from, we call the chazzwazzers.

I grew up in OK and Nebraska and we always called them stocking caps, same in central Texas. I have heard them called toboggans on TV but never branies, to me, beanies are small skull caps like yarmulkes but bigger.

Ah see it must be a regional thing because I am originally from Athens, Ohio which is fairly close to the WV boarder. Us Appalachian folk have to stay together you know.

We had the hottest summer on record last summer. People feared our winter would be terrible. Turns out it was in the top ten warmest winters ever.
