What is the significance of the ubiquitous hats worn by Indonesian men (and some black ones here in the United States)? Is it a religious tradition?

It could be a tradition left over from an older religion, but otherwise consider it no more strange than a texan wearing a cowboy hat. Usually worn for special parties, ceremonies, many indonesians don’t wear any hat in their daily lives.
