C'mon guys.......those caps shown in the link are not beanies or tocques!
They're Stocking Caps
I was issured one when I was in the Navy, 50 years ago. Mine was wool, fit
tightly and itched like hell!
And no, they won't come off during top down driving.

The confusion continues:
here's the dictionary definition of a toque:
a woman's small hat, typically having a narrow, closely turned-up brim.
historical a small cap or bonnet of such a type worn by a man or woman.
a tall white hat with a full pouched crown, worn by chefs.
ORIGIN early 16th cent.: from French,

and in no way are such things furnished with a propeller. Propellers are
found on beanies not toques. However, due to our present day inability to
spell or be dictionaryly (ouff!) correct, the term beanie has been applied
to
the toque. But examine the structure of each piece of head gear and you
will
see they are very different.
