toque

Kitchen head cover

A toque is a close-fitting brimless hat.

In North America, the word has two distinct uses: in Canada, a toque (also spelled tuque) is a knitted winter cap, often with a pompom: Don't forget your toque, it's freezing out.

In professional kitchens, a toque is the tall white hat worn by chefs.
