Description
The Tug of War Kippah is a black and white rope-stripe yarmulke for men and boys, available in 9 sizes at $9.99. Parallel white stripes with a twisted, rope-like texture run across black cloth, and because each of the four panels is cut so the stripes follow its base, they meet on top as a set of concentric squares. The raised texture gives the stripes a woven, three-dimensional look rather than a flat print. The edge is piped in the same striped fabric. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it
The rope-textured stripes give this kippah depth that a flat print cannot, and the way they close into squares on top is a detail that looks deliberate and tailored. It stays strictly black and white, which makes it easy to wear with dark clothing. With sizes from 1 to 6 and flat cuts up to 20cm, it suits a teen and his father equally.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Tug of War design?
White stripes with a twisted, rope-like texture, like the rope in a tug of war, running across black cloth.
Are the stripes printed or woven?
They are part of a textured fabric with an embroidered look, raised rather than printed flat.
What does the top look like?
The stripes from the four panels meet to form concentric squares around the centre point.
Is it formal enough for shul?
It is monochrome and fairly tailored, so many men wear it on weekdays, though it is not a substitute for black velvet.
How does it compare with the houndstooth kippah?
Both are black and white; houndstooth is a small flat check, while Tug of War has bold raised rope stripes.
