      How many different kinds of hats with entirely different names do you own? I have a sun hat, a toque, a helmet, a rain cap, one of those ones with flaps that I don’t know the name of but probably has one, and I’m sure half of you own a fedora and a trilby.

        I see your point and I think the hats are a better example than the trousers comment below. Especially when it comes to traditional clothing, there’s a ton of different, very specialized hats with special names and for a 3rd person might be all just ‘hats’. Thanks for the analogy. :)
