Perfect for the little sports fan

This one crosses over — polished enough for a bar mitzvah, a cousin’s wedding or a dressy Shabbos, yet sporty enough that a boy actually wants to wear it. The faux-leather finish wipes clean with a cloth and holds its shape, so it stays looking good from the simcha hall to the everyday school day. It rounds out the iKippah Soccer, Baseball and Basketball Dov Bear set with a dressier option for the brother who likes to look put-together.

Why parents love this leather kippah

Faux leather is the easiest material to keep neat — a quick wipe and it is ready for the next event — and it reads a notch dressier than mesh or cotton, which makes it the go-to Dov Bear for a bar mitzvah boy. The size range runs from a size-1 toddler kippah up to a size-5 kippah for an adult man, with extra flat sizes for a more tailored fit. Sturdy, smart and built to last through real use.

Frequently asked questions

What size kippah should I order for my child?
Size 1 fits roughly ages 2–4, Size 2 ages 4–7, Size 3 ages 7–10, Size 4 ages 10–13, and Size 5 most teens and adult men; Size 6 and the flat sizes run a little larger again. Between sizes? Size up, WhatsApp us your child’s age and head circumference, or visit our Lakewood showroom for a personal fitting.

Is a kippah the same as a yarmulke or a yarmulka?
Yes — kippah, yarmulke and yarmulka are three spellings for the same head covering (the Hebrew word is kippah, the Yiddish is yarmulke / yarmulka). However you spell it, this is the one you are looking for.

Is a leather kippah okay for Shabbos and a bar mitzvah?
Yes — of the sports Dov Bears the leather is the dressiest, so it suits a bar mitzvah, a wedding or a dressy Shabbos as easily as an everyday school day.

Leather kippah vs cotton kippah — which should I pick?
Faux leather is smoother, dressier and wipes clean with a cloth; cotton is softer and more casual. For a boy who needs one kippah that works for both simchas and daily wear, the leather is the versatile pick.

Can my boys get the matching sports Dov Bear kippahs?
Yes — the Boxing Dov Bear completes the set alongside the iKippah Soccer, Baseball and Basketball Dov Bear yarmulkes, so each brother gets his own sport in a coordinated lineup.
