How it's used
This term is a loanword derived from the English word "cap" combined with the Cantonese character for a specific style of fabric. It is primarily used to describe the classic flat cap or newsboy cap style often associated with older generations or vintage fashion. While younger people might just use the English word "cap" for baseball-style hats, this specific term remains the standard for the tweed variety.
