Is there a word to refer to the cap some British soldiers wear?
Whenever Britain is abuzz with some celebration, I find these people (cops or soldiers?) in red strutting about in parades wearing an elongated black headdress.
Is there a word for this peculiar hat, just like there is a zuchetto to refer to the Pope's cap?
Solution 1:
It is called a bearskin, and as the wikipedia link shows it is not limited to British soldiers.
