Perfect for

Some schools and shuls want a dark kippah — this one obliges without going boring. Jersey knit is the same fabric as a favorite t-shirt: light, flexible, zero break-in, which makes it an easy sell to a boy who claims every kippah is itchy. With flats up to 20cm, it’s also the colorway a father can most plausibly borrow.

Why customers love it

Black hides everything and matches everything, so this ends up the most-worn kippah in the drawer. The soft knit conforms to the head better than stiff wovens — a real advantage for all-day wear — and the white-jersey bear embroidery gets its sharpest contrast here. Clip versions hold through recess; the classic sizes daven through a long Shabbos morning.

Frequently asked questions

Is a jersey knit kippah comfortable for all-day wear?
Extremely — jersey is soft t-shirt fabric that flexes with the head, no stiff rim, which makes it a favorite for boys who resist wearing a kippah all day.

What size kippah should I order for a boy?
Sizes 1–3 fit toddlers through younger boys, size 4 fits most preteens, and size 5 fits most teens and adult men. The cm-sized flats are the flat-cut options bigger boys and fathers usually prefer.

Is this kippah dark enough for a strict school dress code?
Yes — the ground is solid black; the embroidered bear is a small center motif, so it reads as a black kippah at a glance.

Can this kippah be embroidered with a name?
Yes — a name or upsherin date can be embroidered inside or along the rim, with no minimum order. Message us and we’ll set it up.
