Linen Kippot, Six Panel with White Lining and Clip Eyelet, 12 Colors

Linen has a visible weave and a dry hand, and on a kippah it reads as understated rather than dressy, which is why it gets chosen for a bar mitzvah as often as for a chasunah. Six panels are stitched together to form the crown, a white lining goes in behind them, and an eyelet is set into that lining so a clip holds without pinching the fabric.

Twelve colours are available: black, burgundy, light grey, grey, ivory, navy, purple, red, royal blue, turquoise, white and light blue. Buttons can be added at the crown, and special trims are offered if you want a contrasting edge rather than a plain one. Personalization comes with the minimum order, so the inside can carry the name and the date the way guests expect at a simcha.

If you are torn between linen and a shinier fabric, hold them next to the tablecloths you have chosen. Linen sits quietly on a set table and does not fight with a bright centrepiece the way satin does.
