What are those little round hats called?

The kind that “the greatest running back of all time and the second-greatest SO-abusing former running back of all time” wears.

He’s the most obvious person I can think of that consistently wears them.

I think I’ve always heard them referred to in the US as “watch caps”, the implied “watch” being naval.

I know the British & Canadian military called them “Cap, Comforters.”

Contemporary British usage is “wooly hat,” with an overtone of vegan/militant treehugger implied.


Launcher may train without warning.

I don’t think so, Rodd. I think that refers to the woolen hat famously worn once by the “second-greatest running back of all time and greatest SO-abusing running back of all time.”

I think the OP is referring to more a sort of modified fez kind of thing.


I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Well, how’s he going to track down the real killers in one of those funky pillbox hats?
