<br>Subject: Togie
<br>
<br>I am writing a paper on the differnt words people in the U.S. have for
<br>their winter hat.  The origin of calling it toboggan is because when
<br>people ride toboggans, it's winter and they have to wear this knit hat to
<br>keep warm.  But, I have been getting names such as togie, skull hat, and
<br>stocking hat and was wondering if there was a particular region or race
<br>that these words developed from.  Thanks for any help you can give.
