Where did the wooly hat come from?
Historically, a wooly hat was an extremely common form of headgear for seamen, fishers, hunters and others spending their working day outdoors.
Beginning 18th century and forward, it is still commonly used for these purposes in the northern regions of North America.
These places are the likes of Europe, Asia, and other cold regions of the world.
Being found all over the world where climate demands a warm hat, the wooly hat can be found under a multitude of local names.
In parts of the English-speaking world, this type of knitted hat is traditionally called a beanie.
Canada and the US, the word ‘beanie’ is additionally used to denote a different design of brimless cap.
The cap is floppy and made up of joined panels of felt, twill, or other tightly woven cloth rather than being knitted.
Members of the United States military commonly refer to a wooly hat as a watch cap.
This is the headgear worn while “standing watch” on a ship or guard post.
The term snookie cap is also frequently used in the US military.
In Western Pennsylvania English (Pittsburghese), it is known as a tossle cap.
It may also simply be called a winter hat.
