Description
The Black Gray Houndstooth Kippah is a four-panel glen-check yarmulke in black and mid grey, offered in 10 sizes (dome 1 to 7 plus 16, 18 and 20cm flat) at $9.99. The pattern is a Prince of Wales check: large blocks of black houndstooth alternate with finer grey-and-black stripes, so each panel shows a different part of the plaid. The grey is a medium, slightly warm shade, and the fabric has a soft, knitted-looking surface. The rim is bound in the same check. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

- Family matching, from size 1 to 7 and three flat cuts

- A black-only school or shul rule

- A child who wants a bright novelty print
Why customers choose it
Glen check is the pattern of classic grey suits, and this kippah uses it at full scale, with big black houndstooth blocks broken up by finer stripes. Because the grey is mid-toned rather than white, the contrast is softer than a black and white check, which makes it easier to wear with dark tailoring. The soft, knit-like surface adds warmth for the winter months.

Frequently asked questions
Is this houndstooth or plaid?
Both. It is a glen check, a plaid made of blocks of houndstooth and fine stripes, often called Prince of Wales check.
How does it differ from the Black White Houndstooth kippah?
That version uses a much lighter silver-white ground, so it has more contrast. This one is mid grey, so it looks darker and softer.
What does the fabric feel like?
It has a soft, slightly knitted surface with a gentle give, and the check sits in the weave rather than being printed on top.
Will it match a navy suit?
It suits grey, charcoal and black. With navy, a solid kippah usually looks cleaner.
Which size for most men?
Size 5, or the 18cm flat for a flatter fit.
