You forgot to mention the huge Bukharian kippa, which are today more associated with Arthur Waskow than the Bukharians, most of whom wear black velvet or flat leather kippot.

Not necessarily, plenty of Bukharians still wear the colorful bukhari kippot and surprisingly some Ashkenazim too. My younger brothers prefer it because it stays on without clips and it’s easy to play sports in…. besides the fact that it makes a huge statement.

Personally, I prefer the term kippa to yermulka. It is a shorter word, and it’s the term my zeide uses. I wear a black velvet cap because its extra layer of weight sticks to my head, and is less likely to fall off.

Here’s an intersting yarmulke story: I recall an incident with a Lubavitch fellow in shul once. He had one of those obvious yechi-nik yarmulkes. When asked, “where’s your fedora,” he replied “I forgot it.” Yeah, right, I thought to myself. I haven’t seen yechi glittered on a fedora (yet), only on yarmulkes. Anyway, this guy always forgets his fedora. He needs to stuff his moshiach, moshiach, moshiach thing down everybody’s throat and THAT is why he forgets the fedora. Yes, yarmulkes are billboards–sometimes literally.

You completely omitted mention of the rim?

And I think it’s 4 or 6 parts, not 8.

OK: you missed the three most important, most outstanding and downright absolutely certain to pin someone perfectly:

a] A white yalmulka with Na Nach Nachman…

b] A black yalmulka with some version of Y’Chi going around it

c] The sort of hat that they always have pictures of hte Chofetz Chayim wearing.

I have decided to produce a yalmuka with built – in LCD display. The wearer can instantly change the style of what he is wearing and/or put it on a ’screensaver’ type of looping. Anyone interested in one please let me know where they want it sent and when they can send in their head (only) for a quick fitting.
