Perfect for the little sports fan

Velvet is the traditional Shabbos kippah material, and a green velvet stands out from the usual navy and black on a row of boys at shul. It works for Shabbos davening, a yeshiva day and a bar mitzvah without missing a beat, with just enough Dov Bear character to keep a young boy happy to wear it. It is the dressy-traditional counterpart to the everyday iKippah Black Denim Dov Bear, and pairs with the Classic navy velvet and the Basketball and Boxing sports Dov Bears for a coordinated set of brothers.

Why parents love this velvet kippah

Soft velvet feels warm and comfortable against the head through long davening, the green reads classic-but-fresh in shul, and the Dov Bear print gives a plain velvet yarmulke a friendly personality. Sizes run from a size-1 toddler kippah for a 3-year-old up to a size-5 kippah for an adult man, so one design can carry an upsherin boy through his bar-mitzvah years, with extra flat sizes for a more tailored fit. A traditional Shabbos kippah a boy will actually reach for.

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.

How do I care for a velvet kippah?
Brush gently with a soft cloth to keep the pile fresh and spot-clean marks with a barely-damp cloth. Skip soaking and the dryer — velvet keeps its look best with light, gentle care.

Velvet kippah vs denim kippah — which should I pick?
Velvet is the warmer, dressier, more traditional choice and is the classic pick for Shabbos and shul; denim is lighter and more casual for daily wear. Many families keep both — a velvet Dov Bear for Shabbos and a denim one for the week.

Can my boys get the matching Dov Bear kippahs?
Yes — the Green Velvet Dov Bear pairs with the iKippah Classic velvet and the Black Denim, Basketball and Boxing Dov Bear yarmulkes, so brothers can mix the dressy classic with their favorite everyday or sports bear.
