Reply To: Why do people still wear black hats?

That is what developed over time. If the Gedolei Hador declared that a true Ben-Torah wears a black hat, then that should be enough. Tzitzis can be tucked in and do not even get me started with some Kippahs I have seen with innapropriate logos or statements (not athletic teams mind you). The hat is the most distinguishable feature of a Jew and always will be, especially due to the fact that only Jews wear them today.
