How do men pick streimel colors? Does it match their hair or does it go in the family?
My family is yeshivish so I don’t know who to ask.
If these are the concerns then the shtreimel has no meaning no offense.
White with black stripes is really a hot seller these days.
WIY:
What “meaning” is a shtreimel supposed to have (if worn with the proper kavana)???

It isnt supposed to be a fashion statement of some sort where you try to match the hairs with your hair or what not. Real old school chassidim arent into this kind of stuff.
I’m unsure how you pick a color. I guess a sales man in the store can help you with that. WIY, why is a wig supposed to be more of a “fashion statement”? (Wives of “real chassidim” aren’t into “that kind of stuff” either).
“How do men pick streimel colors?”
The same way Yeshivishe males pick their hat color.
“Does it match their hair”
Blonde stremels or hats, would look kind of stupid, don’t you think? I’m trying to picture a flaming redhead and his streimel.
“or does it go in the family?”
The only family that matters is the beaver family the streimel came from.
Hiilarious!!
I think that the kallah’s family pick the shtraimel, so matbe it depends on her hair color.
Some people wear a white shtreimel. Especially in Yerushalayim.
It’s quite simple.
The color depends on the quality an type of the fur.
Chassanim generally get the more expensive sable ur which tens to be lighter in color.
Doesn’t it depend on what animal’s fur is used. Looking at the old photos from from Eastern Europe there’s little resmblence between those streimlach and what we see today.
Like all hair including sheitel it changes color from the sun. And ps most of the strimels u see r not “real” fur too expensive and too hard to maintain if sb has a real one they only wear to simchas the other one which is called “the rain streimel” is worn every wk
