Italian term or phrase: coppola (?)
vorrei sapere come si chiama in inglese quel cappello, simile alla italiana "coppola", spesso in tessuto "pied de poule" e che a volte indossa anche il principe di Galles.

Grazie
Lucio
English translation:flat cap
Explanation:
The link lists a number of English names for this indispensable item of masculine headwear. One term that is missing in Wikipedia (which offers cloth cap, golf cap, driving cap, ivy cap, derby cap or windsor cap) is the Scots version, "skip bunnet".
