In reply to the discussion: Viral Video Appears To Show Sydney Train Passenger Defending Muslim Woman Against Hateful Rant [View all]Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)55. You do understand that those are not exclusive, right?
Also the hat style is shared with iranian imams, it seems that the headgear is of persian origin, modified of course for colder climates, and with a huge layer of "god says so" as well. Religious laws frequently have multiple influences in their origins, so observing that where people lived had some effect on what they wore does nothing to dispute the claim that the clothing is also part of a religious dress code.
Seriously, asserting that hasidic dress codes have no religious component is one of the goofiest claim you've made here.

The specific hats refer to specific geographic locations and specific Rabbinic lineages.
