Actually t be fair Aids that is quite interesting.

In Canada, toque, or tuque ( /ˈtuːk/), is the common name for a knitted winter hat. The Canadian English term was assimilated from Canadian French tuque. Toque first appeared in writing around 1870.[1][2][3]

The fashion is said to have originated with the coureurs de bois, French and Métis fur traders, who kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. Such hats are known in other English-speaking countries by a variety of names, including beanie (American), watch cap or stocking cap; the terms tuque and toque are unique to Canada and northern areas of the United States, close to the Canadian border.

Damn yankees

Looks like a fkn ski cap to me! Either way, you wear that in Louisiana and you gonna get beat up and your milk money taken.

The beanie with the prop looks like the civillian version of the type AF crew chiefs used to wear when marshalling out the B-1.

I love you too Grizz !
