catch yourself: Eighty years ago fedoras has a status similar to baseball caps today. Who know’s someday, baseball caps will be worn only by Jews, and will become formal expensive dress hats. Would anyone 300 years ago imagine that a round fur hat would some day be seen as something “Jewish”? Fashion changes rapidly among the goyim.
The only beged with an halachic status is the tallis (gadol and katan), and perhaps the gartel. Everything else is just a fashion statement – which isn’t today that Yidden, like everyone else, need to pay attention to what fashion statements they make.
