February 1, 2016 10:21 pm at 10:21 pm #1136796TheGoqParticipantTranslation please.
February 2, 2016 12:57 am at 12:57 am #1136797–ParticipantIt’s just another anti-fedora rant.
Like saying no one should buy a car because not everyone can afford a Ferrari.
February 2, 2016 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm #1136798beak glued shut with marsmallow fluffParticipant@The Goq: The translation is:
We hereby inform you that starting Pesach 5776, the style of the chareidim will change from wearing a fedora to wearing flat caps, due to the exorbitant prices of fedoras.
All those who are buying a new hat are requested to buy only a flat cap and not a fedora, in order that they shouldn’t separate themselves from the klal, and so they shouldn’t breach the kabalos of the binei torah, chas vishalom.
@Dash: This isn’t a rant. It’s a notification and request, so that struggling families shouldn’t have to spend money just because a fedora is a necessity in the yeshiva world. Not a fair comparison to saying no one should buy a car.
February 2, 2016 9:08 pm at 9:08 pm #1136799zahavasdadParticipantThere are different kinds of cars
One can drive a 1995 ford Country Squire , one can drive a 2010 Honda Odeyssey or one can drie a 2016 Lexus
they are not the same because they are cars
February 2, 2016 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #1136800Geordie613ParticipantAt least flat caps won’t blow around in the wind.
February 2, 2016 9:27 pm at 9:27 pm #1136801emanParticipantIf everyone would wear a flat cap, they could keep it in their shtender and not have to go to the hat rack before mincho or maariv.
February 2, 2016 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm #1136802apushatayidParticipant“the style of the chareidim will change”
On whose order?
February 3, 2016 2:46 am at 2:46 am #1136803cvParticipantSo, from now on chareidim will stop buying fedoras, because Pesach around the corner.
Will prices on fedoras get down? Will prices on flat caps get up?
February 3, 2016 4:17 am at 4:17 am #1136804–ParticipantThere are different kinds of cars
There are different kinds of fedoras.
February 3, 2016 10:34 am at 10:34 am #1136805TheGoqParticipantThank you Beak.
February 3, 2016 1:43 pm at 1:43 pm #1136806YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorSo basically it’s Purim schtick?
February 3, 2016 1:56 pm at 1:56 pm #1136807takahmamashParticipantI think a nice red tartan pattern with a pom-pom on top would make a nice addition to any man’s hat collection.
February 3, 2016 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm #1136808apushatayidParticipantI think the sign is referring to the satmar style hats
February 3, 2016 2:59 pm at 2:59 pm #1136809MenoParticipantPardon my ignorance. What’s a flat cap?
February 3, 2016 3:11 pm at 3:11 pm #1136810JosephParticipantI think the sign is referring to the satmar style hats
Do the Satmar-style Beaver Hits cost less than the Litvish-style Fedoras?
February 3, 2016 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #1136811apushatayidParticipantDoes a Kangol cap?
February 4, 2016 7:26 pm at 7:26 pm #1136812Burnt SteakParticipantThis sounds like its coming from a Bernie Sanders supporter. Keep your socialism. Everyone doesn’t have to be the same.
February 4, 2016 9:48 pm at 9:48 pm #1136813beak glued shut with marsmallow fluffParticipant@apushatayid, those in charge of deciding styles.
@cv, I sure hope the prices on caps won’t go down, that would defeat the whole purpose.
@YW Moderator-29, no this isn’t Purim shtik!
@Meno, a Kangol cap (thanks apushatayid for that word)@Burnt Steak, you’re right in theory but the fact is that unless there are a lot of people doing this, it will be impossible to effect.
February 4, 2016 10:39 pm at 10:39 pm #1136814apushatayidParticipantKangol is a brand.
For what its worth, for $60 you can buy a black fedora at Macys.
February 4, 2016 10:59 pm at 10:59 pm #1136815ytejewboyParticipantits not fair to the rich that they cant spend their money. just dont make it so necessary to wear a fedora.
February 4, 2016 11:20 pm at 11:20 pm #1136816JosephParticipantFor what its worth, for $60 you can buy a black fedora at Macys.
Do they look like a typical yeshivish fedora? Do you know frum people who wear those Macy’s hats to shul?
February 4, 2016 11:39 pm at 11:39 pm #1136817ytejewboyParticipantwhy do people wear hats if its not required
February 5, 2016 1:42 am at 1:42 am #1136818JosephParticipantShoes are not either required; why don’t people wear sandals instead?
February 5, 2016 2:06 am at 2:06 am #1136819ytejewboyParticipanti wear shoes because there comfortable and i dont want to go barefoot
February 5, 2016 9:12 am at 9:12 am #1136820takahmamashParticipanthoes are not either required; why don’t people wear sandals instead?
I know people here who wear sandalim year-round. I wear my sandals from March or April to November, sometimes December. Yes, even on Shabbat and Chagim.
February 5, 2016 1:56 pm at 1:56 pm #1136821ytejewboyParticipantdo you wear a hat
February 5, 2016 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm #1136822apushatayidParticipant“Do they look like a typical yeshivish fedora?”
Meaning, they have 2 pinches, a brim etc…? Yes.
“Do you know frum people who wear those Macy’s hats to shul?”
Me. I dont question people where they buy their hats so I dont know about anyone else.
Besides, who cares.
February 7, 2016 8:53 am at 8:53 am #1136823takahmamashParticipantytejewboy:
do you wear a hat
Whom are you asking? If you’re asking me, the answer is no, I do not wear a hat for davening. Few people on my yishuv do. (For the record, I do not wear a suit, sport coat, or tie, either.)
February 7, 2016 1:56 pm at 1:56 pm #1136824chatzkalParticipantThis is obviously a joke and a figment of someones imagination. And if any real sign was put up it has no backing and few if any people will listen to it. But the truth is, the is not a new concept. In some chassidishe circles, bachurim wear “kashketlach” in the weekdays instead of regular biber hits for this very purpose, the fact that they are more affordable. Kashketlach are small caps worn by children under bar mitzvah on Shabbos in some chassdish circles. Similar to what the Chofetz Chaim is known to have worn. In many places in Europe, even men wore them during the week.
February 10, 2016 10:37 am at 10:37 am #1136825mobicoParticipantThe Macy hats are not crushable. This means that if bent or creased, they are ruined. They are of significantly lesser quality than the Italian Fedoras that are generally worn by the Yeshivish community.
February 10, 2016 3:15 pm at 3:15 pm #1136826apushatayidParticipantI guess if you need a foldable, bendable, crushable fedora then you shouldnt buy one from Macys. If it is these qualities you are looking for, a baseball cap from Modells would do the trick. They bounce right back into shape.
February 10, 2016 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm #1136827JosephParticipantDoes Macy’s carry their black fedora in most of their branches or only in their Herald Square flagship store?
Do any of the heimishe hat stores have a similarly priced black fedora, even if of the same lesser quality as the one carried by Macy’s?
February 10, 2016 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #1136828☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf it is these qualities you are looking for, a baseball cap from Modells would do the trick.
You could also wear a colorful beanie with a propeller.
February 10, 2016 4:54 pm at 4:54 pm #1136829apushatayidParticipantI think the propeller would break off if someone tried to crush, bend or fold the hat. Its why I went with the baseball cap.
Joseph, why dont you call their public relations department and ask them.
February 10, 2016 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm #1136830JosephParticipantAPY: You’re my PR agent. Which branch did you pickup your hat from?
February 10, 2016 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #1136831golferParticipantWhat happened to the propeller beanies?
Why do our local hat stores not sell them?
Where can I buy one?
So much more stylish and versatile than a Bors…
