[I wonder]

Rather an odd photo to release. Can someone please clarify what is meant by a toque? Thank you.

Tuque | The Canadian Encyclopedia
''In Canada, a tuque (sometimes spelled toque or touque) refers to a warm knitted cap, traditionally made of wool and usually worn in winter.

Canadian English has spawned many expressions for headgear. Beaver hats, Mountie hats and Tilley hats all originated in Canada. “Christy stiffs” were a Canadian variety of derby hat. A “Pangnirtung hat” (also known as a “Pang hat”) is the name of a brightly coloured wool cap from the eastern Arctic, often with earflaps and a tassel (see Nunavut). But the most iconic item of Canadian headwear is arguably the tuque.''
