Ok, I'll show my ignorance here: is a toque just a term for that type of skull cap, or it more specific?

In Canada, "toque" may also be a misspelling of tuque (IPA: [tuk]), a knit woollen winter hat, originally worn by French-Canadians but now a staple of the Canadian winter wardrobe. This "fashion" originated when coureurs des bois kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary regards the use of toque for this hat to be assimilated from the etymologically unrelated French word tuque.

Translation: It's Canadian for winter hat. LOL!
