Wednesday Word: Caubeen

[calzephyr]

Caubeen - noun.

As a hat person, I'm happy to share my love of hats and today I'm here to tell you all about a traditional Irish hat, the caubeen. More of a beret, the caubeen, the name apparently means "old hat" (according to Wikipedia) and also comes from cáibín, which means "little cape".

That caubeen has a nice panache.

It's very fancy! The caubeen is part of the dress of many military units these days.
