Reply To: Do any charedim wear straw fedoras?

I am told that Rav Moshe Feinstein wore a black straw hat (hamburg) in the summer. I’ve also seen quite a few talmidei chachamim wear them in the summer months. Years ago many bnei Torah wore them in the summer, even white ones! Apparently today we are more “frum” than they were. The truth is that any respectable hat or cap is fine for davening.
