Download the app for free German vocabulary testHut is the brimmed hat, and German keeps it separate from Mütze, the soft cap — the same line English draws between hat and cap, only more strictly. A woolly hat is a Mütze, never a Hut, and calling one the other sounds simply wrong.
The idioms travel well. Hut ab is “hats off”, alter Hut is “old hat”, and unter einen Hut bringen — to bring under one hat — means to reconcile competing demands, an image English does not have.
Mütze cap, woolly hat
Soft and without a brim. German never blurs this into Hut.
Kappe cap
With a peak — a baseball cap is eine Kappe or, borrowed, ein Cap.
Kapuze hood
Attached to a coat. English hood covers this and a car bonnet; German does not.
