The event's name refers to the tall hats worn by chefs (toques) and bell towers or steeples (clochers), since the money raised from the auctions is given to churches to restore their belltowers.

"Toque A toque ( or ) is a type of hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all. Toques were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. The mode was revived in the 1930s. Now it is primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada where the term is primarily used for knit caps. The word has been known in English since 1505. It came through the Medieval French toque (15th century), presumably by the way of the Spanish ""toca"" ""woman's headdress"", from Arabic *""taqa"" 'طاقة' for ""opening"". and"

Small round or slightly conical caps with rolled brims were worn, and straw hats were worn for outdoor work in summer. Women's clothing consisted of an undertunic called a chemise, ""chainse"" or smock, usually of linen, over which was worn one or more ankle-to-floor length tunics (also called gowns or kirtles).

One of these surcoats was the cyclas, which began as a rectangular piece of cloth with a hole in it for the head. Over time the sides were sewn together to make a long, sleeveless tunic. When sleeves and sometimes a hood were added, the cyclas became a ganache (a cap-sleeved surcoat, usually shown with hood of matching color) or a gardcorps (a long, generous-sleeved traveling robe, somewhat resembling a modern academic robe).

It comprised a high Arab headdress, a short red jacket embroidered in black, sky blue waist coat (""sedria"") a wide red sash and voluminous light blue trousers. The four regiments were distinguished by the differing colours of their ""tombeaus"" (circular false pockets on the front of the jacket). A white burnous was worn together with a red cloak (blue for the Moroccan Spahis). French officers wore light blue kepis, red tunics with gold rank braiding and light blue breeches with double red stripes."

Due to its position as important trade center with a flourishing ""souk"" (""market""), in late 19th century, there was a large choice of fabrics available in the city, from Damascus and Aleppo silk to Manchester cottons and calicos. Similar in construction to the garments worn in the Galilee, both long and short Turkish style jackets were worn over the ""thob"" (""robe"").

The tunic largely replaced the older chitoniskos (or short chiton) as the main tunic of the hoplites during the later 5th century BC. It was made of two rectangles of linen (other materials were also used), which were stitched together from the sides to form a cylinder, leaving enough space at the top for the arms. An opening at the top was also left for the head. The cylinder was gathered up at the waist with a cloth belt using"

They were fond of wigs, often choosing blonde because the Paris Commune had banned blonde wigs, but they also wore them in black, blue, and green.

Despite often extreme disparities of wealth and rank between the citizen classes, the toga identified them as a singular and exclusive civic body. Conversely, and just as usefully, it underlined their differences. Togas were relatively uniform in pattern and style but varied significantly in the quality and quantity of their fabric, and the marks of higher rank or office. The highest status toga, the solidly purple, gold-embroidered ""toga picta"" could be worn only at particular ceremonies by"
"term ""tuque"" is French Canadian. Some etymologists think it probably comes from an Old Spanish word (""toca"") for a type of headdress — specifically, a soft, close-fitting cap worn about 500 years ago. The word ""tuque"" is similarly related to the name of the chef's toque, an alternate spelling from Middle Breton, the language spoken by Breton immigrants at the founding of New France. In Modern Breton, it is spelled ""tok"", and it just means ""hat"". In Old Breton, it was spelled ""toc"". The tuque is similar to the Phrygian cap, and, as such, during the 1837 Patriotes Rebellion, a"

Probably the most significant item in the ancient Roman wardrobe was the toga, a one-piece woolen garment that draped loosely around the shoulders and down the body. Togas could be wrapped in different ways, and they became larger and more voluminous over the centuries. Some innovations were purely fashionable. Because it was not easy to wear a toga without tripping over it or trailing drapery, some variations in wrapping served a practical function. Other styles were required, for instance, for covering the head during ceremonies. Magistrates and high priests wore"

The lovelocks would be curled in a similar fashion. Once the shaping and styling was done, it would be finished off with white or grey powder, and decoration proceeded. In the mid- to late-1770s, huge hair became all the rage. This high hairstyle was created using ""toques"" (or “cushions”) which were made of fabric or cork and shaped like a heart or spear.

Later the bliaut was fitted tightly to the body from shoulder to hip, and the belt, or girdle was wrapped twice around the waist and knotted in front of the abdomen. Underclothes consisted of an inner tunic (French ""chainse"") or shirt with long, tight sleeves, and drawers or ""braies"", usually of linen.

While toupées and hairpieces are typically associated with male wearers, some women also use hairpieces to lengthen existing hair, or cover a partially exposed scalp. The desire to wear hairpieces is caused in part by a long-standing bias against balding that crosses cultures, dating to at least 3100 BC. Toupée manufacturers' financial results indicate that toupée use is in overall decline, due in part to alternative methods for dealing with baldness, and to greater cultural"

Boucher, the personal chef of the French statesman Talleyrand, was the first to insist on white toques for sanitary reasons. The modern toque is popularly believed to have originated with the French chef Marie-Antoine Carême (1784–1833), who stiffened the ""casque à meche"" with cardboard .
