Kippot
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
King David not wearing Tzitzit? - His wife criticized him becuase when he was Dancing (for Hashe-m even), a little skin of his body (legs and hands) were showing, she concidered it as something that can lead to less Kavod to the Kingship. - this just shows that King David wore a lot of clothing.

I don't particularly like the way they look, though I occasionally wear one when walking back from Shabbos meals. Eh, they're ok.
I like them on other people and I like seeing other Jewish people wear them around town because it shows they are proud Jews, but as a style, I'm not particularly fond of them.
Actually, I'm not to into the whole Chassidic style either. Again I like it on the rabbis but I probably wouldn't wear it.
Do you think King David ever wore a kippot?
Do you think he wore Tzitzit?
Somehow I can't picture a Hebrew warlord in Chassidic garb or kippot but maybe they wore tzitzit.

Well, you know there are so many different styles of kippot. I personally wear a knitted kippah, a big one. Kind of like the ones the judean and samarian settlers wear.

I have a big Breslov one that I wear on Purim. I always wanted to get a big settler type kippah, but I am not going to be in Israel till next year, so wont b able to get one. Does any1 know if they are available anywhere in America, or on the internet?

Originally Jews wore Turbans, not Kippoth.

You are wrong, it never says anywhere in the Torah that. It simply said that he was dancing in front of the Aron and she didn't think it was befitting for a King to do that. The simple meaning of the Torah is that the reason was because she didn't think it looked good to dance like a wild animal in front of the Ark. King David told her that it's a great thing to dance in front of Hashem with great happiness.

Ok, so you go ahead and wear a turban. But people will just think you're some sort of weird convert to Hinduism... ;D
