English name[edit]

@Justinrleung, Wyang, Tooironic May I ask what's the English term for this concept? Dokurrat (talk) 04:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dokurrat: Peaked cap? Sorry, I'm not really well-versed in headwear terminology. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:42, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with "peaked cap", but some clarification would be needed (usually worn by law enforcement officers). Wyang (talk) 04:43, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Justinrleung, Wyang: I was to use "peaked cap" too. But I get hesitated when I think I see a English article in which that word refers to the thing that 大蓋帽 would not refer to: [1] Dokurrat (talk) 04:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A paraphrase is needed since there is no equivalent in English (AFAIK). I note Pleco's definition: "cap with a broad and hard top, referring to someone in charge of some aspect of law enforcement (policeman, inspector, customs officer, etc.); uniform cap; police cap; fireman cap". Reminds me of 頭巾 which also requires a paraphrase definition. ---> Tooironic (talk) 07:29, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
