Black Velvet Kippah, Camel Rim Yarmulke

The Black Velvet Kippah with Camel Rim is a four-panel black velvet yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 10 sizes at $9.99. The crown is a soft, deep-black velvet with four seams meeting at the top, and the edge is wrapped in a smooth camel-tan band sewn down with tone-on-tone stitching. Inside is a black lining printed with the iKippah logo and a numbered size mark, with the camel band folded over the inner edge. The warm rim is the whole point: it lifts plain black without turning it into a novelty piece. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• Brown shoes, tan chinos or a camel overcoat, where plain black looks disconnected
• A man who wears black velvet but wants one warm detail
• Families buying for several ages, since it runs from size 1 to size 7
• Flat-cut wearers who want the same look in 16, 18 or 20 cm

Not the right choice if

• A yeshiva or shul that expects an all-black velvet kippah
• You prefer the camel kept subtle; here the whole rim is camel
• You need a machine-washable kippah; velvet is brush-clean only
• You wear only grey or navy suits, where camel can clash

Why customers choose it

Camel is the neutral that bridges black and brown, so this kippah sits comfortably with the brown belts, shoes and outerwear many men wear on weekdays and Shabbos alike. Wrapping the whole edge in camel, rather than adding a thin thread, makes the contrast readable from across the room while the crown stays formal black velvet. The size run is unusually wide for a rimmed velvet, reaching size 7 and three flat measurements, which is why it often gets bought for a father and sons together.

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 camel on this black velvet kippah?
Very visible. The entire outer band is camel-tan, so it frames the black crown from the front, side and back rather than showing only up close.

Camel rim or camel stitching: which black velvet should I choose?
Choose this rim if you want the warm colour to be obvious. The camel-stitching version keeps a black band and shows camel only as a thin dashed line, which reads more conservative.

Does the camel rim go with a navy suit?
It can, but it is strongest with brown, tan and black clothing. For navy suits, a grey or light blue rim usually looks more deliberate.

Which sizes are flat cuts and how are they measured?
The 16, 18 and 20 cm options are flat styles measured straight across the kippah. Sizes 1 to 7 are the standard shaped fits.

Does the camel rim look the same inside and out?
Yes. The camel band folds over the edge onto the black lining, so the rim colour shows when the kippah is taken off too.
