Black Linen Kippah, Red Stitching Yarmulke

The Black Linen Kippah with Red Stitching is a four-panel black linen yarmulke for men and boys, available in 10 sizes at $9.99. Unlike the contrast-rim styles, the band here is the same black linen as the crown; the accent is a single running line of red thread stitched along the rim. From the side it shows as a fine red dotted line near the edge, and from directly above it almost vanishes, so the kippah reads as plain black. The crown texture is a dense, flat linen weave with a faint navy undertone in bright light. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Specifications

How this compares

Best for

• Schools or shuls that want a dark kippah but allow a small detail
• Men who like a red tie or pocket square to echo
• Big boys who need sizes up to 7 or a 20 cm flat
• A father-son set where both want black with a twist

Not the right choice if

• You want the accent visible from across the room
• Only a velvet kippah is acceptable where you daven
• You want contrast fabric at the edge; this rim is black
• You need a size 8 or larger

Why customers choose it

This is the most understated kippah in the black linen range. Everything that shows from above is black, and the red appears only as a stitched line at the edge, the way a tailored jacket might have coloured buttonhole thread. It suits people who need to look conventional but still want something that is not identical to every other black kippah on the table.

Size guide

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

Frequently asked questions

How visible is the red stitching?
It is a thin line of red thread on the black rim. You notice it from the side and up close; from above or across a room the kippah looks all black.

Is the rim a different fabric?
No. The band is the same black linen as the crown. Only the thread colour differs, which keeps the edge flat and understated.

Is there a size above 6 in the red-stitch black linen?
Yes, a size 7 is offered, along with 16, 18 and 20 cm flat cuts. Size 5 is still the usual adult choice.

Will this pass as a black kippah for school?
In most places, yes, because the only colour is a thread line. If the rule is black velvet specifically, this linen will not meet it.

Is any part of the fabric red?
No. The whole kippah is black linen; the red is only the thread stitched along the rim.
