Also, my Rav wears a sort of black felt flat cap - seen a few other people sporting them as well.

Wouldn't say he looks hilarious at all, just rather distinguished. And I wouldn't tell him he looks weird either--at 6"3" and fit he could very easily get insulted and guarantee that you will be wearing a flat-as-a-pancake hat regardless of how it actually started out.

The "chushiva" guy hat. which is a mixture if an up-hat and a Beaver hat, it has that glossy look, but it has that split down the middle. You have to wear a frock to wear that, and start every conversation with"l'choira" Then there is the "shtufena" hat or as some used to call it "choolent tup" (chulent pot). Worn by satmar or other Hungarian-Chasidishe background. its similar to the up-hat but the rim is a little more curled, and the indentation in the middle is round, hence the term Choolent tup. Oh, in Vishnits, they wear the Beaver hat backwards, the bow on the other side, dont ask me why. Kulpiks, those are brown spudiks, but only rebbishe decentants wear that on shabosbefore they get married after the bar mitzvah. Some rebbes wear it by weekday tischin, like lag ba'omer. then there the Keshketel. What little kids, up to the bar mitzvah, from Polish chasisdisen wear on Shabbos. Its made from cardboard and velvet. It looks very cute and matches the white shirt and black/blue vest is wearing very good. p.s. I know I have no life. Oh and i still get hell from my father for coming to shul in the weekdays, shachris, without a hat. Thats yiddishkeit, I guess You left out a few.

Ben-Yehuda, I agree with your gripe about European hats beings seen as THE Jewish hats. However, saying that they are NOT Jewish, is something I disagree with. Sure, they were worn by Polish noblemen and Cossacks, but aren't the middle eastern Jewish hats similar to those of Arabs and Turks? All that matters is that they cover your head to remind you of God. Maybe we should start an underground movement to popularize unconventional Jewish wear like giant Mexican sombreros and poncho tzitzit.
