That's what my western PA buddies call them.

Always just called them hats or touques around here.

A toboggan is a sled.

A toboggan is a sled only to people who have enough snow to sled on...To panhandle cowboys a sled (when we do get a little snow ) is anything flat ish (like an old car hood) that can be pulled behind a horse ,4 wheeler or a 4 wheel drive truck. A toboggan is a knit thing that covers your head and ears

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.

I'm going to start calling them toboggans - and no one up here can tell me any different!

By the way we just got about 5 inches of snow today. I'm up on the roof shovelling some of the snow down.

A hat

Same here. I don't wear hats otherwise, so if I'm wearing a hat, it's a hat for winter.

Hats have a brim, caps have a bill and toboggans don't have neither

If you Google "toboggan" an look at the images tab, you will see mostly sleds.

If you Google "skull cap" an look at the images tab, you will see mostly head conforming hats.

If you Google "beanie" an look at the images tab, you will see mostly head conforming hats, some with balls on them.

Are you sure you didn't look up "beanbag"?

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

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

It's all semantics...

Darn French spelling... there's no "q'" in "kook"...

You COULD call it a an aggressive yarmulke... OY!

I've always known them as toques. A Beanie has a propeller on the top. A toboggan will simply not fit on one's head as it's simply too heavy. If it's a hat and it's winter, it's likely warm, whatever you call it.

 

[Zaxor]

I have heard them called everything everyone mentioned....but the part of the body it goes on is called a hatracker I bet you didn't know that :

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?

A toboggan is a sled, not a hat. Winter hats are toques.
