Black is the hat you reach for. Ivory is the hat you decide on.
There is a reason most people buy the dark one first. Ivory asks something of you. It says you thought about this, that you are not blending into the back row of the photograph, that you came to be seen. That is the entire point of it.
The architecture underneath is the same one that made this silhouette a signature. A low sculptural crown that sits close and frames the face instead of crowding it. 100% Australian wool that holds its edge through a full day of standing, greeting, and being photographed. A premium satin lining that protects braids, locs, twists, silk presses, and natural textures, because a hat should never undo the work underneath it. An adjustable inner band, so the fit is yours rather than a guess. Five sizes, 55/S through 64/XXL.
What Ivory adds is light. Against a camera flash, against stained glass, against a dark coat in October, it lifts you off the background instead of asking you to match it. It is the difference between being in the picture and being the reason someone took it.

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.

Ever since I saw these hats online, I just knew that I had to have one. It is a little too hot for me to wear it right now, but you wait until it cools down just a little bit...it's about to be on and poppin!! #BorntoROAM
I love my london pillbox hat.. I was so excited when it arrived.I had to try it on and take a picture. Oh, and I love this hat too. The tan hat was my first hat i order. From you. B.R.
I love it! It looks exactly how it was displayed, and it fits perfectly! I don’t have to wear it until the wedding which is Sept. 19th.. But that will be the day I make the content for it.
Outstanding! I believe I’ll be purchasing the other colors…. soon. They just keep ending up in my cart! Not only are these hats beautifully made, they arrive very fast, and the customer service is top notch! Overall, this company, and their products, are what other companies should strive for.
I love the fit of this hat!! I cant wait to wear it! I have a small head and this gives me some space when i tried it on it didnt mess up my hair. Beautiful and great quality, a must buy and i will be back!
Stunning! I now have this style in magenta, navy, ivory and leopard. I get tons of compliments when I wear them! I have the Russian in green but it's a little too exaggerating a silhouette for me, so the London is perfect!
