Black Velvet Kippah – Black Corduroy Rim Yarmulke

The Black Velvet Kippah with Black Corduroy Rim is a four-panel velvet yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 5 sizes at $9.99. The crown is a deep, soft black velvet, and instead of the usual flat band the rim is a strip of black corduroy with diagonal ribs. It is black on black, so the only change is from smooth pile to ribbed texture at the edge. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• Shuls and schools that expect an all-black kippah
• Someone who wants velvet with a small point of difference
• Winter Shabbos with a black or charcoal suit
• A bar mitzvah boy who must wear black but wants detail

Not the right choice if

• You need size 6 or a flat cut; this stops at 5
• You want a visible colour accent
• You want a washable kippah; velvet is brush-only
• You want a summer-weight kippah

Why customers choose it

Where a standard black velvet kippah has a flat grosgrain or velvet edge, this one uses corduroy, so the rim has fine diagonal ribs that catch light differently from the smooth crown. It passes every black-kippah rule while still giving the wearer something that is clearly his. It belongs to a small set of corduroy-rim velvets; this is the one for anyone who cannot wear a coloured rim.

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 the rim a different colour?
No. The rim is black corduroy, so the contrast is purely texture: ribbed edge against smooth velvet.

Will this be accepted where only black kippot are worn?
It is entirely black, so in most schools and shuls with a black-kippah rule it is fine. Check if your institution specifies plain velvet only.

Which domed and flat sizes does the black corduroy-rim velvet offer?
Sizes 1 through 5. Size 5 fits most adult men.

Are there coloured-rim versions?
Yes, the same velvet with a forest green corduroy rim, and one with an ocean blue corduroy rim.

How do I care for velvet?
Brush it gently in one direction, keep it out of crowded pockets, and store it flat. Never iron velvet.
