Hemp kippahs: Modern and 770 fit guide
Both the Modern hemp kippah and the 770 hemp kippah list hemp and Italian leather as their materials. Each is listed at 20 g. The larger dimensions of the 770 make the two cuts worth comparing even though their listed weight is the same.
Modern or 770
| Cut | Listed size | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Modern | 140 × 40 mm | Hemp and Italian leather |
| 770 | 165 × 55 mm | Hemp and Italian leather |
Check the width and height of your usual kippah, then compare the side profile in the product photographs. A deeper shape is a fit choice; it does not guarantee that you can wear it without fixation.
Choose the fixation before checkout
Check the fixation selector on the kippah you choose. The choices include no fixation, a hairpin and a suction cup with an additional charge. Select the one you need and review the price before checkout.
The CHAI Hemp Kippah also has a fixation selector. CHAI has its own selected finish and presentation choices, so compare its product page with the standard range.
Material and care
Use the current material specification to identify the fabric. Older links or collection names can contain the word linen. That wording should not replace the specification on the product you are buying.
Because these kippahs include leather trim, ask for the care instructions for the finished piece before washing it. Avoid applying care advice for an untrimmed hemp garment to the whole kippah.
Buying a hemp kippah as a gift
Ask which shape the recipient wears and whether they use a hairpin or suction cup. Choose colour and packaging on the product page. For a size or colour that is not listed, send a custom request before ordering.
For another hemp garment, read the tallit katan guide. For more shapes, see the 770 kippah guide.
