Beanie's loved by the younger people here in north-west Germany when working outside in the garden, because of the strong wind we have.
A cap, as Thomas wear is for the middleaged people  ;D around 40 -50
And a hat are for the "old" men  ;D ;D over 60 and in darker colours.
I'm in the 40 er and so I wear a Cap.

Maggi,

Of hats and caps: Well, there are hats and there are caps and then there other things.

Onion, I wear a hat, have done for years and have not reached 60 yet.

Richard Dawkins says if he sees someone in a baseball cap said person's IQ goes down by 20. If it is on backwards it drops a further 20. ::) Clearly this only applies to the tracky wearing, Irn Bru drinking chavs in the UK, not the smart, well dressed man-about-the-mountains type. ;D

Paddy this is the special humour of the "natives" in this area ;D ;D ;D

Lives in the north of Germany since 20 years, come from the south I'm a foreigner here. So the "natives" makes jokes with you. (The beanies are a short version, like the sailors wear sometimes)

Uli,

Such humour is everday in Ireland. Here it is called "slagging" and means to tease, insult in a friendly way. It is a sign of friendship to be able to have such humour for someone.

Thomas didn't like the hat I sent him a couple of Christmases ago. It was a red beanie and I thought it would be good for German winters but......

Stop talking, Lesley - I never said that!!! I used your red merino wool cap allthrough the winter when it was cold here!!

I have a long grey Sunday coat and need a hat. A nice felt Homberg might do the trick?
