      I wore a similar Toque to an Arctic Monkeys concert and the lead singer and drummer pointed me out and had a debate about what the thing is called - they settled on bobble-top. (the audio of this exchange is somewhere). My costume for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter olympics also has a sweet toque with a bobble top on top - that would be a humblebrag...until you google audience leader costume for those games. Looked good on TV, not so much in person.
