Description
The Black Velvet Kippah with Leather Rim is a four-panel black velvet yarmulke for men and boys, available in 10 sizes at $9.99. The rim is a smooth black leather band with a soft sheen and fine stitch line, so the kippah stays entirely black while the edge catches light differently from the velvet pile. Inside, the black lining carries the iKippah logo and a size number, with the leather band wrapping over the inner edge. It is the most formal-looking of the rimmed black velvets. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

- Weddings, Shabbos and formal events
- Wide fit needs, from size 1 to 7 and three flat cuts

- You need a confirmed natural leather; we cannot say whether the rim is real or synthetic
- You want a casual weekday look
- You dislike any sheen on a kippah
Why customers choose it
Replacing the fabric rim with leather keeps the kippah completely black while giving the edge a clean, structured line. That makes it a natural fit for formal occasions and for communities that expect black. The unusually wide size range, including size 7 and flat cuts, means one style can cover a whole family.

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 the same colour as the velvet?
Yes, both are black. The difference is texture: the leather band has a smooth sheen, while the velvet has a soft pile.
Is it real leather?
The rim is leather-finished, but we cannot confirm whether it is natural or synthetic, so we do not claim either.
Is this suitable for a yeshiva that requires black velvet?
It is all black and velvet on top, which many institutions accept. If yours requires a plain fabric edge, check first.
What sizes are offered in the leather-rim black velvet?
Numbered sizes 1 to 7 plus flat cuts at 16, 18 and 20 cm.
How do I look after the leather rim?
Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth and keep it away from heat and prolonged damp.
