Black Velvet Kippah, Black or Brown Suede Rim Yarmulke

This Black Velvet Kippah with a suede rim comes in two rim colours, black or brown, and in 9 sizes for boys and men at $9.99. The crown is four panels of deep black velvet with a soft, low pile. In one version the edge is a black suede band that nearly disappears into the velvet; in the other it is a chocolate-brown suede band with a visible napped texture that frames the dome. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• Shabbos and yom tov, when you want velvet with a subtle finish
• Brown shoes and belts, matched by the brown suede rim
• A mostly black look that still has texture, with the black rim
• Autumn and winter, when suede and velvet feel right

Not the right choice if

• Hot summer days, when velvet runs warm
• You want to wash it; velvet and suede are brush-and-store only
• You want a bright or contrasting rim colour
• You want a kippah without a rim band

Why customers choose it

The suede rim is what separates this from a plain black velvet: it adds a napped, matte edge that catches the light differently from the pile above it. The black rim option looks almost solid from a distance, while the brown gives a warm, tailored contrast that works with navy, grey and brown suits. It is a choice between quiet and warm without leaving velvet.

Size guide

Sizing is guidance, not a promise — heads vary. When you are between two sizes, the larger one sits better.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the two rim options?
The black suede rim blends into the velvet for a near-solid look. The brown suede rim is a chocolate colour that outlines the dome.

Which rim goes with a navy suit?
Brown often looks warmer with navy and grey, especially with brown shoes. Black stays the more traditional choice.

How do I keep suede and velvet clean?
Brush the velvet gently in one direction and keep the suede dry. Do not wash or iron either fabric.

Is a suede-rimmed velvet kippah suitable for a wedding?
Yes. It is a dressy kippah, and the black rim version is the more formal of the two.

What size does a grown man wear?
Size 5 or 6 fits most adult men. The 16cm, 18cm and 20cm flats suit those who prefer a flatter fit.
