To Americans, toques are the white mushroom-like hats that chefs wear. To us, calling a watch cap a toque would be one toque over the line.
One toque over the line, sweet jesus.

I should've included this one. Merry Christmas!

A hat and sunglasses transform me into a performer. Edit: I can't seem to get the photo rotated

Hey Arcy, I see you're from Redmond, WA, but are still familiar with the word "toque". I have many American friends who seem to call their toques "watch caps" or "stocking caps" or even "knit caps", but it's really nice to see an American who knows the correct name for these hats.
My niece texted me last year asking what a "took" (sic) was. I had no idea what she was talking about (a type of foolish hobbit?) until she used it in context: "5 goooooooolden tooks" (sic)Some of us watched the McKenzie Brothers on SCTV, eh?
Take off.

The "Trilby" is the classic Ukulele players' hat, like what Jake or Aldrine wears. I have a nice straw Trilby made by Ben Sherman, with a wooden Ukulele pin on the band. Can't say that it helps my playing, but I do feel that it looks good on me. It mostly hangs around on something in my music room, just adding to the decor.
I had never heard the word "Trilby" before this post. I always called these pork pie hats.
