⚠️ The trap

Cappotto means a full winter overcoat, not a cap or small hat. For a cap or baseball hat, use 'berretto' or 'cappellino'. The cappotto family (cappello, cappellino, cappotto) relates to coverings for the head or body.

To say "a small hat covering the top of the head" in Italian:

berretto, cappellino (cap/small hat)

"cappotto" in English means:

overcoat, winter coat

Example

"Metti il cappotto — fuori fa freddo."

"Put your coat on — it is cold outside."
