Description
The Black Cord Square Kippah is a four-panel textured yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 9 sizes at $9.99. The surface is a black-on-black checkerboard: small squares of soft pile alternate with squares of flatter, ribbed weave, so the pattern appears when light hits it and disappears in shadow. The rim is bound in the same fabric and the kippah reads as plain black from a distance. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Best for
- Men who need an all-black kippah but want some texture
- Winter Shabbosim, when a heavier fabric feels right
- A black or charcoal suit, where the pattern stays discreet
- Teens moving from velvet to something less formal
Not the right choice if
- You want a smooth, flat black; the texture is visible close up
- You need a lightweight summer kippah
- You need size 7 or 22 cm flat
- Your yeshiva specifies velvet
Why customers choose it
Tonal checks are a trick borrowed from suiting fabric: the colour is uniform, so the pattern only shows as light moves over it. On a kippah that means it passes as plain black in shul and reveals its texture up close. The squares are small and even across all four panels, and the self-fabric rim keeps the edge from breaking the pattern. It is a winter-weight fabric and feels substantial on the head.

Frequently asked questions
Is the square pattern visible?
Only up close or in direct light. It is black-on-black, created by alternating pile and flat squares, not by a second colour.
Is this regular wide-wale corduroy?
No. It is a corduroy-type pile, but the ribs are woven into small squares rather than long lines, which gives a checkerboard look.
Will it pass as a black kippah in shul?
In most shuls, yes. From a distance it reads as solid black.
Is there a navy version of the Black Cord Square?
Yes, the Navy Cord Square uses the same checkerboard fabric in navy.
What sizes can I order the Black Cord Square in?
It runs from size 1 to size 6, with flats at 16, 18 and 20 cm.
