1. The Litvish used to wear shtreimals in Lita. In Eretz Yisroel many Litvish still wear shtreimals.

2. The Litvish used to all wear a long rekel (jacket) in Lita. The Russian government forced them to stop.

3. Litvish married women used to wear only a tichel. Until the Russian government banned them.

4. The long peyos was universal in Ashkenaz. Even German Jews used to have long curly peyos, like the Chasidim still do now. You can find pictures even of the very early German maskilim with long curly peyos.

5. All Jewish men used to always wear a hat in public.
