The History of the Beanie Hat
Beanie or beanie hat is the name for two distinct types of cap or hat, the name "beanie" originates from the early-20th century slang term "bean," meaning "head". The beanie cap was originally typically made of wool felt, and was popular amongst school age children between the 1920's to 1940's.

In the early 90's, the beanie hat went through a re-emergence in popularity thanks to the "grunge" clothing trend and the popularisation of winter sports such as snowboarding and skiing. The modern beanie hat is usually made of fleece, or special synthetic acrylic material that wicks moisture away.
