Black Denim Kippah / Yarmulke

The Black Denim Kippah is a plain four-panel black denim yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 12 sizes and priced at $9.99. The denim has the familiar diagonal twill with slight grey flecks, so it reads as washed black rather than jet. The edge is bound in the same denim. Turn it over and there is a surprise: the lining is bright red cotton, printed with the maker's logo and a circled size number. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it

Black denim is the natural choice for a man who likes the rugged feel of denim but wants the discretion of a dark kippah. This is the plain version: black denim crown and matching denim binding, no contrasting rim or stitching. The red lining is a nice detail that only you see. It also has one of the fuller size runs in the black denim family, including flat cuts at 16, 18, 19 and 20cm and two flat sizes with clip loops.

Size guide

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

Frequently asked questions

Is black denim the same as black cotton?
Both are cotton, but denim is a heavier twill with visible grain and faint grey flecks, so it looks more textured than smooth black cotton.

What colour is the inside?
The lining is red cotton, printed with the maker's logo and a size number.

Which sizes have clip loops?
The 16cm and 18cm flat sizes are offered with clip loops sewn in.

Is it dark enough for shul?
It reads as a dark, washed black and is fine for most shuls. A yeshiva that insists on solid black velvet or cotton may not accept it.

Does denim soften over time?
Yes. Like jeans, it gets softer with wear. Spot-clean rather than soaking to keep the colour even.
