In the 14th century the Venetian government put into law that all Jews coming into the city had to wear a yellow circle on their outermost layer of clothing in order to distinguish the Christians and Jews and further their segregation. After years of Jewish people allegedly not following this law the government replaced the yellow circle on their clothing with a yellow head covering or yarmulke to increase visibility in 1497. The head covering color was supposed to be yellow but many of the Jewish people coming into the city chose to wear red instead, with the exception of those of Levantine origin. While there is no solid proof for the reasoning of this change, many believe it is because of the stigma surrounding the color yellow which was also used to mark pimps and prostitutes. Eventually, in 1738 Venetian government updated the law to officially include the use of red head coverings. [4]

A hard hat is a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace environments such as industrial or construction sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, rain, and electric shock. Suspension bands inside the helmet spread the helmet's weight and the force of any impact over the top of the head. A suspension also provides space of approximately 30 mm between the helmet's shell and the wearer's head, so that if an object strikes the shell, the impact is less likely to be transmitted directly to the skull. Some helmet shells have a mid-line reinforcement ridge to improve impact resistance. The rock climbing helmet fulfills a very similar role in a different context and has a very similar design.

In American films of the Western genre between the 1920s and the 1940s, white hats were often worn by heroes and black hats by villains to symbolize the contrast in good versus evil.

Two exceptions to the convention were portrayals by William Boyd, who wore dark clothing as Hopalong Cassidy, and Robert Taylor's portrayal in the film The Law and Jake Wade (1958).
