Need Help From Canadians!

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

So we have some new products and I have a question that the Canadians should be able to help me with....I have attached a photo of Pete wearing what we call a "beanie". To my question... a couple of years ago I was at a trade show and met some people from Canada and they did not call this a "beanie", they called it something else that for the life of me I cannot remember. I had never heard the word before. Could someone tell me what these hats/caps/beanie things are called in Canada? I would like to add it to the product description....plus I am not so sure I like the name "beanie" for them.

 

Thanks!!!!

AHHHH....and that would be why I did not remember it!!!!

That seems to be it!

I looked it up:

 

Toque: soft hat with a narrow brim worn especially in the 16th century, from Old Spanish toca headdress

 

1 : a woman's small hat without a brim made in any of various soft close-fitting shapes

2 : TUQUE

3 : a tall brimless hat worn by a chef -- called also toque blanche

 

 

THANKS!!!!!! :thumbsup_anim:

The one Pete is wearing is a knit cap....it may be a Toque but maybe not, its not a skull cap though. We do have others at petemaina.com that I think for sure are Toques. Is that the plural? I tried to find out so I could put it on the site but Miriam Webster didn't give a plural for it. The others on the site are fleece....here is a photo:
