Sizing & Measurement

Kippah size is the diameter across the top of the dome — measured from edge to edge with a flexible tape measure. It is not your head circumference. Lay a tape measure flat across the very top of the kippah and read the width in centimeters. That is your size.

Common mistake: Many people confuse kippah size with head circumference. If your head circumference is 57 cm (average adult), your kippah size is approximately 19–20 cm — very different numbers.

When in doubt, order 19 cm — it fits most adult men comfortably and is our most popular size. General guidelines: 15–16 cm for young children, 17–18 cm for teens (12–15), 19–21 cm for most adults, 22–23 cm for a larger fit. If you have an existing kippah the wearer is happy with, measure it and order the same size.

Ordering & Minimums

A good rule of thumb is to order for approximately 60% of your total guest count. Not every guest wears a kippah — women, young children, and non-Jewish guests typically do not. For example: 100 guests → order about 60 kippahs  ·  150 guests → about 90  ·  200 guests → about 120. It's always better to have a few extras than to run short on the day.
