The men are distinguished by their dark Hasidic garb, and by their pants tucked into their socks, called ''hoyzn-zokn'' (not to be confused with the [[breeches]], called ''halber-hoyzn'', worn by men in some other Hasidic groups). They wear a round felt hat, and a high, almost-pointed [[yarmulke|kapel]]. They raise their [[Payot|sidelocks]] from the temples, and tuck them under the yarmulke, nearly hiding them. On [[Shabbos]] and [[Jewish holiday]]s, married men wear the high circular [[shtreimel|fur hat]] of the Polish Hasidim, called a ''[[spodik]]'' by Galicianers (not to be confused with the much flatter [[shtreimel]] worn by married men in Hasidic groups which do not hail from [[Congress Poland]]).{{Citation needed|date=December 2015}} Ger has produced some of the most prolific composers of [[religious Jewish music|Jewish liturgical music]] of all time, such as [[Yankel Talmud]] (1885–1965), who was known as "the Beethoven of the Gerrer Rebbes".<ref name="ami">Bleich, Chanania.
