Spodik

A spodik (or spodek; Yiddish: ספּאָדיק spodik, from Polish spodek "saucer") is a tall,^[1] black fur hat worn by some Hasidic Jews, particularly by members of sects in 19th-century Congress Poland.^[2] The origins of the spodik and the shtreimel are unclear, but it is often thought that the Jews living in Europe adopted wearing fur hats from the Eastern European culture,^[1] and perhaps from the nobility,^[3] replacing the sudra.^{[citation needed]}
