I'm not sure if it's the exact same kind, but it's similar.

I think I have seen the great Rabbi wearing some black velvet or suede kippot as well. I have heard that the knit ones "mean" you support Right-wing politics"... only through passing conversation during a weekly Torah study I attend.

Unless others knew the great Rebbe personally, Chaim might have the 1st person insight as an observer.

Yes, the knit kippah {which I wear} sometimes indicates a right winger...

The kippah is a defining symbol of Jewish identity. In the religiously, culturally, and ethnically diverse regions of the Jewish Diaspora, kipppot are often worn as outward symbols of Jewishness. Yet due to the internal diversity of the Jewish people—owing largely to geographical and sectarian/denominational differences—kippot have taken on a multiplicity of appearances and meanings.

In the contemporary world, a Jew may wear a kippah to demarcate theological, social, or even political positions. In Hasidic communities, Jewish men often wear fedoras with large black kippot underneath, representing the Kabbalistic understanding of two levels of the intellect. In Israel, religious Zionists are sometimes called kippot serugat for the knitted head coverings they wear; and in recent years crocheted "Kabbalist" kippot have become popular among Jews with a mystical bent. Most liberal Jews wear kippot only during religious ceremonies, and in many egalitarian congregations women wear kippot to assert their equality with men.
