Why do people wear black hats if their kippa has 2 layers?
Answer
See pg. 127 ff. of this publication from YCT. It is an article by Jason Weiner titled "ON THE HALAKHIC BASIS FOR WEARING BLACK HATS". In this article he discusses 5 reasons given by the Rabbinical Authorities for wearing a black hat:
- Kavod (Respect)
- Distingishing ourselves from the other nations
- Atifah (Wrap)
- Double Covering
- A Jewish custom has the strength of Halacha
