Dude, it's only called a toque if you live in France, Canada, or in a town where most of the people are French-Canadian. In the lower 48, that fucker's called a BEANIE, DAMMIT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuque (In the United States, this type of hat is more commonly referred to by other names: knit hat or knit cap, sock cap or stocking cap, watch cap, (to)boggan, skull cap , snow hat, snow cap, ski cap, or beanie. In Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the UK, the term beanie refers almost exclusively to the knitted tuque-style hat, although that word is also used elsewhere to denote a more rigid cap that is not knitted but rather made up of joined panels of felt, twill or other tightly woven cloth. The lack of a consistent term for the tuque, outside Canada, is popular source material for Canadian comedians.) http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toque
