What do you call winter hats?

[ScipioCowboy]

You have special hats for winter?

 

[YosemiteSam]

It depends on what type of hat/cap you are referring to. I call toboggans these things.

My wife on the other hand calls them winter caps, knit caps, or even skull caps. She calls a toboggans a sled, which I do too. (sort of anyhow. We called them boggans rather than toboggans) She had just never heard of them called toboggans. Then again, she hates my southern dialect.

It's called a "took", Hoser...

I grew up with tobaggan as well...

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.


Who loves ya?



I love ya!!

I call them sleds too, but if someone says pass that toboggan then I'm grabbing the sled. I have never heard a person call a hat a toboggan.

It's a watch cap.

Last week, it was 70 degrees. Then Friday, all those storms and tornados. Sunday night, it snowed 4+ inches. It should be 60 degrees tomorrow (in Louisville).

Yep...

I've lived in Texas (GP/Arlington) my whole life and I used to call them toboggans when I was younger, but I've recently converted to beanies

North Texas (FWorth) and I call them tobaggans almost to be funny because that's what my Mom called them when I was a kid, but I also say knit cap or winter hat. A beanie to me is more like a yamuka like others said.

These kind of hats are great, I can go out in the winter in shorts and a tshirt if I wanted as long as I have a tobaggan on.

That's it right there.

Old school Germans like my grandparents call it a poodlemitz.

...we term it a "toque" up here in Canada.

A toboggan is a non powered snow sled you ride down a hill.

First of all... what is "Winter"?

[Doomsday101]

We call them baseball caps in Houston. :laugh2:

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

I call them head panties.

 

[cowboy_ron]

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?

I'm originally from Dallas and we called them toboggans

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.

Grew up in Texas and I usually heard them called stocking caps, too. When I was a little kid, one of my best friends called them toboggans, so I usually did, too.

But honestly people didn't wear them enough to hear them talked about very much.

No one I knew ever called them a beanie... Never heard anyone call one a "watch cap" until I was looking for one online... As David said, I know Canadians insist they are toques.
