Silk Kippah, Black Yarmulke

The Black Silk Kippah is a plain four-panel black yarmulke for men, made only in 3 flat sizes and priced at $9.99. The fabric has a fine, tight weave and a matte, slightly dry surface rather than a satin shine.

Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Specifications

How this compares

Best for

• Men who want a plain black kippah that is not velvet
• Office and weekday wear with a suit
• Those who find velvet too warm or too showy
• Adults who wear a flat-cut kippah

Not the right choice if

• Boys or anyone who needs a numbered dome size; only flats are offered
• You want a visible sheen; this silk has a matte finish
• A community that requires black velvet specifically
• You want any colour or detail on the rim

Why customers choose it

Silk gives a plain black kippah a smoother, finer weave than cotton or linen, while staying lighter than velvet. The finish is matte, so it looks tailored rather than shiny, and the simple stitched rim keeps it discreet. Because it only comes in flat sizes, it is aimed at adult men who already know they prefer a flat fit.

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 this kippah shiny?
No. The black silk has a fine, matte weave, closer to a dress shirt than to satin.

Does it come in boys' sizes?
No. This kippah is offered only in 16cm, 18cm and 20cm flat sizes, which suit teens and adults.

How is it different from the black linen kippah?
Linen has a coarser, visible slub weave and feels more casual. The silk is finer and smoother.

Can it replace a velvet kippah on Shabbos?
Many men wear a plain black fabric kippah on Shabbos. If your shul expects velvet, choose velvet instead.

How do I look after a silk kippah?
Keep it dry, spot clean gently with a barely damp cloth, and store it flat so the dome keeps its shape.
