Perfect for

The rim colors are how boys tell their kippah apart from the eight identical black ones on the shul table. Forest green is the version that still looks right at a bar mitzvah — dark enough to pass as formal, distinct enough to actually find at the end of davening.

Why customers love it

Green corduroy against black velvet is a winter combination that works with grey, navy and brown alike. It is one of three rim colors on the same dome — black corduroy for the most formal option, ocean blue for something brighter — so a family can order the set and give each boy his own.

Frequently asked questions

How dark is the green rim?
Deep forest green, closer to hunter than to olive. Against black velvet it reads almost as a shadow until it catches direct light.

What size yarmulka should I order for a 3 year old?
Size 1 or 2 covers most upsherin-age boys. Size 3 is the usual first-grade size.

Will the corduroy rim wear out before the velvet does?
No — the corduroy is the more durable of the two. The velvet nap is what shows age first, usually at the crown.

Can I have a name embroidered inside?
Yes, with no minimum order. Message us and we will arrange it.
