Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to know what kind of kippah
would be worn by an "average" Jew in Manhattan in 1860. This is
for an historical impression.  In "real life," I am
Conservative, but I know the movement did not exist yet. As far
as I know, Reform Jews (brand new at the time) did not wear
kippot. I'd prefer to wear one since I do in real life. So I
guess my historical impression must be Orthodox, but not
Hasidic.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
