One of the main elements of costume since ancient times has been the headdress. In addition to its main purpose - to keep the head warm, it performed ritual and distinguishing functions. Not breaking the traditions of the society the person tried to differ in some way outwardly. In Russia a hat more than any other clothing item served as a proof of belonging to this or that class. Maybe in those days and there was a proverb "A man according to his hat. According to what she wore on his head a woman could determine her age - whether she was old or not married or passed away in some area of residence.According to the senka and the cap nobility of the boyars in old Russia could be easily established by the height of their fur "throat" throat they were called because the fur for them was taken from the throat of a dead animal hats. The richer and more high ranked was the nobleman, the higher was the hat. Ordinary people did not have the right and means to wear these luxurious hats made of furbearer's beaver or sable fur. Hence were born the proverbs: "A hat for the wives and daughters" or "A hat for the wives and daughters" that is: honor to each according to his merits.

In Rus it was a hat that showed a person's belonging to this or that class. Earlier Senka called a nobleman who sits in the Senate, so he was required to wear a hat in accordance with his caste. Simple people usually wore a cap, so there is an analogue of the proverb "According to the senator's hat" which says that "according to Yerema and the cap.
