Toque, tuque, touque, however you want to spell it, this keeps my ears warm on cold winter days, including this morning. Often I wear a cap, too, for the peak. I came by this toque one day when I was waiting for a bus, and a chap passed by with a bunch of these advertising the local radio station. He said "Here, it's cold!" and carried on before I could even say thanks. It's a good hat, especially for free!
