While there is a religious law for Jewish males to wear something on their heads, there is no special religious significance to the shtreimel. Different places had differing customs. At some locations only the rabbi wore a shtreimel while at other places the entire community wore them. Many religious Jews proudly wear the shtreimel since it originated of a decree that was lifted some 3 or 400 years ago that Jews wear tails of an animal on their head to signify that Jews are "animals".

Also male Orthodox Jews are very conservative regarding headgear, and one can find Jews wearing trilbys or homburgs, top hats in Britain, and tricornes in France. The special headgear is generally only worn on special occasions (such as Shabbat) or in the synagogue and, as with the shtreimel, even in countries where the general population has long stopped wearing them. The shtreimel is a good example of this conservativeness. This article is about the trilby hat. ... Hugo Resinger holding a fashionable grey Homburg hat, 1907. ...
