Saltire Skull Cap?

[Fearnest]

Those are bandannas or kerchiefs and hardly caps. Be them the garb of American slaves, pirates or the trouping colours of self-styled inner-city ganstas they are, I think, by no measures "skull caps" (the style of badhnāti excludes them also of being ħijābim or turbans).

Yep, I agree. But I was just showing what "passes" for a skull cap for many people these days.

We're ceasing to be a people who use precise words precisely.

I was trying to think of the name of some other brimless men's caps other than the beanie, watch cap, and the fez.

Suggestions? (Pics would be nice too.)

Best regards,

The toque (with a nod up north)! Of course, that then gets into a whole new discussion - the watch cap/toque/sock hat/tobaggan/stocking cap thing.

Just have to love regional dialects and names!

There are, of course, many kinds of brimless headcovers among them an assortment of regional and tribal "kufi"

and tarbooshim. Among the national Muslim and Arab costumes under the Colonial and Ottoman rule there were a wide assortment of felt caps beyond the red tasseled Fez worn by Peter Lorre in Casablanca or Sydney Greenstreet in Maltese Falcon . The caps were quite layered as under them was a libbadeh or kubbah (turban) and a kind of absorbent Kipa-like thing (araqiyeh). Of these only the araqiyeh is a "skull cap".

Ok then.

I'm just going by what they are commonly called. I didn't name them. Call it a do-rag if you don't like the term skull cap. Either way, I've had no luck finding one, but thanks everyone for their input.

Wow, AA. It's like the world's biggest souvenir shop threw-up on my computer
I found this apron there for our crowd


Hmm, I guess the belt with waistcoat design would make it a fashion don't for some . . .

Best regards,

No, it's okay, because the waistcoat is under the belt.

(Also, it's an apron. )
