Navy Velvet Kippah, Blue Sketch Plaid Rim Yarmulke

The Navy Velvet Kippah with Blue Sketch Plaid Rim is a four-panel navy velvet yarmulke for men and boys, offered in 5 sizes at $9.99. The crown is a deep navy velvet with a short, even pile. Its rim is the detail: a band of woven fabric in mid-blue and navy, criss-crossed with fine lines that look like pencil hatching, so the edge reads as a soft, tweedy plaid rather than a solid stripe. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Specifications

How this compares

Best for

• A navy suit or sport coat with a little texture, where plain navy velvet feels flat
• Men who like velvet on Shabbos but want the edge to look less formal
• Autumn and winter simchas where tweed and flannel are out
• A young boy from size 1, so a father and son can match

Not the right choice if

• Your yeshiva or shul expects plain black velvet with no pattern
• You need size 6 or a flat-cut size; this design stops at size 5
• You want a kippah that can go in the wash; velvet is brush-only
• You prefer the plaid to stand out; the blue-on-navy hatch is quiet from a distance

Why customers choose it

The crosshatch rim is what separates this from the dozens of navy velvet kippot with solid bands. From across the room it looks like a finished navy velvet; up close, the sketch-plaid band gives it the texture of a tweed jacket, which is why it works so well with grey flannel trousers and blue oxford shirts. The four-panel crown keeps a shallow, rounded profile that sits low on the head.

Size guide

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

Frequently asked questions

What does a sketch plaid rim look like up close?
It is a woven band in mid-blue and navy with thin crossing lines, a bit like pencil cross-hatching. It reads as texture rather than a bold check.

How is this different from the navy velvet with the plaid rim?
Both have navy velvet crowns. The plaid-rim version uses a navy band with crisp white windowpane lines; this one keeps the band blue-on-navy, so it is subtler.

Is there a full sketch plaid kippah without velvet?
Yes, the Sketch Plaid Kippah in blue suiting uses a similar crosshatch fabric across the whole crown, which is more casual than this velvet one.

Which size suits a grown man?
Size 5 is the adult size in this design and fits most men and older teens. Sizes 1 to 4 step down through the younger ages.

Can a velvet kippah be embroidered with a bar mitzvah date?
Yes. A name or date can be embroidered on the velvet crown with no minimum order, and it takes 10 to 14 days plus shipping.
