Is there a different word for the type with a brim vs. without a brim?
What are those coat-things called?
A kashketel is basically a cap. Among certain chasidim young boys wear these kashketlach on shabbos and yom tov. The long coat is called a bekishe. Those are worn on shabbos and yom tov by post bar mitzvah boys. The kids in this picture must have been from a Rebbish family where boys begin wearing bekiches at a younger age.
The Belzer Rebbe - his grand kids [to his left] wearing kashketlech and bekishes.
