Reply To: Velvet = Frummer?

And where are the boundaries….if wearing a small black velvet kipah on Shabbos (to distinguish it from your weekday cloth or knitted kipah) why not wear an elegant black velvet suit on Shabbos (rather than just cloth) since it covers so much more landscape and will certain attract more attention to your frumkeit as defined by your efforts at kavod Shabbos and hidur mitzvah. Some would argue it is certainly more shabbosdik than even a silk or satin Bekeshe. Yes, you might be mistaken for an Elvis impersonator in the black velvet suit, but only by goyim.
