Forest Green Suede Kippah / Yarmulke

The Forest Green Suede Kippah is a four-panel suede yarmulke for men and boys, made in 9 sizes and priced at $9.99. The colour is a deep forest green — dark enough to wear with a navy or grey suit, clearly green in daylight — and the suede has a soft, brushed nap that gives it a matte, velvety look without the shine of leather. The panels meet in fine seams at the crown and the rim is finished in the same green suede, so there is no contrasting band. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• Men who want a colour kippah that still reads as grown-up and quiet
• Weddings and sheva brachos with a navy, grey or charcoal suit
• Autumn and winter Shabbosos, when suede looks right with heavier fabrics
• Matching a father and son — the same colour runs from size 1 to adult flats

Not the right choice if

• You want a traditional black kippah for yeshiva or a strict dress code
• You will wear it in the rain; suede marks when it gets wet
• You want a wipe-clean kippah — a leather kippah is easier to clean
• You want a bright, grass-green colour; this is a dark forest shade

Why customers choose it

Suede sits between velvet and leather: it has the softness of velvet without the shine, and the structure of leather without the stiffness. On a dark green that combination looks deliberate rather than loud, which is why a green suede kippah works with a suit as well as with a sweater. There is no contrasting rim or stitching, so the texture and colour carry the whole design. The 9-size range, including three flat sizes, covers a toddler through a grown man.

Size guide

Sizing is guidance, not a promise — heads vary. When you are between two sizes, the larger one sits better.

Frequently asked questions

Is a green kippah appropriate for shul?
In most communities, yes — coloured suede and leather kippot are common in shul. If your community or school expects black, keep a black kippah for those settings.

How do I clean a suede kippah?
Brush it with a soft suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust. For a mark, use a suede eraser. Do not wash it or soak it.

What size suede kippah fits an adult man?
Size 5 fits most adult men and size 6 a larger head. If you prefer a flatter kippah, the 18cm and 20cm flats are adult sizes.

What is the difference between suede and velvet kippot?
Velvet has a deep, glossy pile and looks most formal. Suede has a shorter, matte, brushed nap, so it reads as softer and a little less formal.

Can I get it embroidered with a name?
Yes, with no minimum order. On dark green, white, cream or gold thread shows up best — WhatsApp 732-444-3111 to set it up.

How dark is the green?
It is a deep forest green, darker than a grass or kelly green. In dim light it can look close to dark olive; in daylight it is clearly green.

What size should I order for a boy?
Size 1 suits most toddlers, size 2 ages 4 to 5, size 3 ages 6 to 7 and size 4 ages 8 to 10. Between two sizes, take the larger.
