Usually, the skullcap is worn during worship, but the Orthodox Jews wear them at all times as a sign of respect to God.

Incidentally, the Hebrew word for this is Kippa and in Yiddish it's known as a yamulka.

Orthodox Jews cover their heads as a reminder that God is above. This can be done with a kippah or yarmulka (cap). Wearing a hat is a sign of dignity, just as you wouldn't be surprised to see a senator wearing a hat.Why some Orthodox Jews wear a big hat, is perhaps based upon the European region they originated from (Poland, Galicia, etc.), and/or to be recognizable as belonging to a particular subgroup within the various Hassidic customs.

What is the fur hat called that Jews wear?

Shtreimels or Boyar Hats.The Shtreimel or Boyar Hat that many Ultra-Religious Western European Orthodox Jews wear is a result of their ancestors having lived in Russia and Poland, it is not a "Jewish" custom. These Jews wear such hats in recognition that wearing such hats is indicative of higher status and more formal dress (the same way that a number of Western European Jews wear Top Hats). However, many Russians and Poles no longer wear the Boyar Hat since it is out of fashion (in much the same way that few Western Europeas wear Top Hats anymore).
