Historically, the forerunner to the tuque we know today was, in fact, the toque. This small, round, close-fitting hat was popular as early as the 12th and 13th centuries, when women wore embroidered toques made of velvet, satin, or taffeta. Late in the 16th century, brimless, black velvet toques became fashionable with men and women.
