Reply To: Do any charedim wear straw fedoras?

Brown Fedoras: I EY you see brown hats and brown outerwear, it is because it is bleached out by the sun. And also, because these items are so expensive here, there are many who can only purchase say, a new hat once in a Yovel. While it is no shame to be poor here, I feel this still represents a problem of bizayon hatorah. Hareidiwear should be na’eh v’naki, cheap and localized. If we could get rid of the uniformity meshugas, there would be no price fixing in the market.
