Hats and Caps

Put On Your White Sombrero was created in 1996.

Its origins came from the title of a play, called Fedora(1882). In it, the main actress wore a hat with a look that served as a precursor to the fedora today. It was initially popular among women at the turn of the century, but soon became even more popular for men.

They are hats similar to those worn by early biplane pilots and crew of military aircraft (e.g. bombers) up through WW2 to protects their head (especially ears and eyes) from the wind and cold of open cockpit and unpressurized closed cockpit aircraft.

Some top hats are higher than the others because of the different designs employed.

Kippahs, also known as yarmulkes, are traditionally worn by Jewish men and have origins that trace back to at least the 2nd century CE, as indicated by historical texts and archaeological findings. The practice of wearing a head covering is believed to have evolved as a sign of reverence and humility before God. While the specific customs and styles have varied over time, the kippah has become a significant symbol of Jewish identity and observance.

Orthodox Jewish men wear them all the time. Conservative and Reform Jews might only wear them when praying in synagogue or in the home.

It depends on your level of observance.

The custom of wearing a kippah, or yarmulke, is very old, and it's true origins are lost to time, but today it is generally associated with the idea of reminding the wearer of God's eternal presence, and/or creating a slight separation between the wearer and God.
