@The Goq: The translation is:

We hereby inform you that starting Pesach 5776, the style of the chareidim will change from wearing a fedora to wearing flat caps, due to the exorbitant prices of fedoras.

All those who are buying a new hat are requested to buy only a flat cap and not a fedora, in order that they shouldn’t separate themselves from the klal, and so they shouldn’t breach the kabalos of the binei torah, chas vishalom.

@Dash: This isn’t a rant. It’s a notification and request, so that struggling families shouldn’t have to spend money just because a fedora is a necessity in the yeshiva world. Not a fair comparison to saying no one should buy a car.
