On occasion the question of Jewish hats comes up, and since an off-topic post I made in a different thread generated a little interest, I'll share more here. Ignore it if you want; ask me any questions you want. :) Realistically, when we're talking about black hats worn by Jews, we're talking...
New hats made by the same company or the same custom hat maker often fit differently even when made on the same block. Sometimes the differences can be significant.
When it comes to pairing hats with suits, it's important to consider the overall style and aesthetic of the outfit. The dark gray hairy fedora may be a better match for your navy suit.

I have talked about the TV series " Homestead Rescue " some time ago. Obviously the hats are an important thing is these reality TV show .
