The toque (chef's hat) dates back to the 16th century when hats were common in many trades. Different heights of hats indicate rank within a kitchen. The symbolism of the folded pleats of the toque are now said to represent that many different ways a chef knows to cook an egg.

The cap is open inside. That length will be useful to hold the cooking tools - like spoons etc., to be handy for use whenever they need them. You might have observed this in some movies.
