The London Pillbox in Leopard is the print that built the brand. Hand-laid pattern on 100% Australian wool. Satin-lined. Sized 55/S through 64/XXL.
A luxury hat that actually fits.
A POWER PIECE WITH HISTORY
Leopard has always belonged to the wearer who refuses to be ignored. The London in Leopard turns that energy into form, a hand-laid pattern rendered on the modern pillbox architecture, structured for daylight and built to hold its line through every room it enters.
THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
Nothing here is accidental. Hand-laid leopard pattern on 100% Australian wool, lined in premium satin to protect your hair, and finished with the signature BTR pin set by hand. The form is designed to sit perfectly, frame the face, and hold its shape wear after wear. Sized 55/S through 64/XXL with an adjustable inner band, the London fits braids, twists, locs, and natural texture without compromise.
MADE TO BE WORN
Not saved for special occasions. Leopard turns a black coat into an event and an ordinary outfit into a moment. The more you wear it, the more it becomes yours.

What Roamers are saying
Some pieces you wear. This one wears your authority for you.
The London Pillbox was designed for the woman who walks into a boardroom, a gala, or a Sunday service and shifts the energy without raising her voice. Its low-profile crown sits close, sculpting the face with the kind of quiet architecture that photographs like it was born there. Because it was.
Every detail exists on purpose. 100% Australian Wool holds its shape season after season, no slouching, no compromise. The premium satin lining isn't decorative. It's functional, protecting braids, locs, twists, silk presses, and natural textures with the same intention you bring to everything you do.
The adjustable inner band means the fit is yours, not ours. Five sizes. Eight colors. One silhouette that's earned 89 five-star reviews from women who don't impress easily.
Designed in Los Angeles by a Black-owned brand that believes headwear should honor who you are, not ask you to be someone else.
You've spent your life showing up for others. The London Pillbox shows up for you.

Are pillbox hats still in style in 2026?
Pillbox hats are experiencing a major resurgence in 2026, driven by the return of structured, architectural headwear in both streetwear and formal fashion. Born To Roam's London Pillbox modernizes the classic Jackie Kennedy silhouette with Australian Wool construction, a satin-lined interior for hair protection, and inclusive sizing from S to XXL. Available in eight colors, it's designed to move between boardrooms, galas, and everyday life.
What size pillbox hat do I need for braids?
For braids, start with a Born To Roam size Large (59cm/23.25") or X-Large (61cm/24"), depending on braid volume. For jumbo braids or long locs, the XX-Large (64cm/25") provides maximum room. All sizes include an adjustable inner band for fine-tuning, and the satin lining protects braided styles from friction and frizz.
Is Born To Roam a Black-owned brand?
Yes. Born To Roam is a Black-owned fashion brand designed in Los Angeles. The brand specializes in premium headwear with inclusive sizing and satin-lined interiors built specifically to honor and protect all hair types, including protective styles like braids, locs, and twists.
How do you wear a pillbox hat to a formal event?
For formal events like galas, graduations, or ceremonies, position the pillbox hat slightly forward on the crown of your head, angled about 20 degrees. Born To Roam's London Pillbox in Black or Ivory pairs elegantly with tailored suits, structured dresses, and statement earrings. The low-profile crown frames the face without overwhelming your look, creating a silhouette that photographs beautifully from every angle.
What's the difference between the London and Russian pillbox hat?
The London Pillbox features a low-profile sculptural crown for understated everyday elegance — it's versatile from boardrooms to weekend outings. The Russian Pillbox has a taller, cylindrical crown inspired by avant-garde and aristocratic silhouettes, creating a more dramatic, high-fashion presence. Both are made from 100% Australian Wool with satin linings, adjustable inner bands, and five inclusive sizes. The London comes in eight colors; the Russian is available in Black.
How do you clean a wool pillbox hat?
Spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Air dry on a flat surface or hat form to maintain the structured shape. For dust removal, use a soft-bristled hat brush in a counterclockwise direction. Store on a flat surface or hat form away from direct sunlight and heat.

I have worn this hat a few times now and always receive compliments. It is comfortable and the satin lining is a great touch for protecting my hair. It is my favorite hat and I can’t wait to add more to my collection.
I've been waiting to make this investment for about a year and the time was finally right, just in time for a conference. The theme for the first night was animal :D
I love this brand!!!! When folks saw me with this hat……. Game Over! Thank you for my tote bag too. It’s the little details that bring brand loyalty. Both of my hats are totally my style!
I wasn’t sure about this print or another one they have. I wound up getting both. This is 1 of 4 I have from this brand. These hats are conversation starters. Worth every penny. The craftsmanship is supreme.
The size I ordered was too big, but the hat is BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely love the quality and design the of hat. The pillbox hats from Born to Roam are SO UNIQUE! I also have the Glen Plaid print, which I can’t seem to get enough of. Now all I need is the Viva Magenta and the tan colors.
The hat fit well and I received a lot of compliments. Comfortable stylish and looks amazing on me. I love that you can dress the hat up/down. Can’t wait to style my hat again.
This is my 2nd order from BTR. 1st order glen plaid pill box hat perfect. Both times I ordered a 59 M/L. The 1st order came in as a L, the leopard pillbox came in as a M and it’s too small. I sent an email and have been waiting on a reply
I have been eyeballing the BR pillbox hat for at least a year....promising that I would treat myself to one OR two or three or four🤪 My birthday at the beginning of the Fall season became the first occasion. It was perfection 👌🏾 Kudos on the craftsmanship, brilliant satin lining that provides both comfort and protection for the hair and of course the overall unique shape and adjustable inside strap that allows me to transition and wear with various hairstyles without it being too loose or tight. I hope to collect all of the colors. Is there a special coupon for aspiring BR collectors?! 🫣
I love this pillbox hat. The print is awesome and the fix is perfect. I received many compliments each time I wore it. This hat is very versatile and age appropriate. I'm 65 years of age and owned my fashion every-time I worn each outfit.
I’ve waited a while becsuse it was always sold out, or I wasn’t ready. WhenI saw it for 50% off, i quickly grabbed it. I love it and can’t wait to wear it.
This pillbox hat is the epitome of excellence. It looks amazing, fits perfectly. Works great for me with multiple styles ...you have officially arrived any time you wear it. 💚💚💚
I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I placed an order on July 12, 2026, for two hats totaling over $200 and have still not received them. I contacted customer service for help but have not received any updates. Spending this much money and being ignored is unacceptable. I expect this issue to be resolved immediately with either delivery of my order or a full refund. I hope improvements are made to customer service and communication so other customers do not have the same experience.
