Chemo Hats for Women — designed by milliner Nicky Zip, made in the UK

Finding a hat that looks right when you’ve lost your hair is harder than it should be. Most chemo headwear is cut too snug — and it shows. At Suburban Turban, every hat is designed by Nicky Zip, London-trained milliner, with one goal: to look like a great hat, less of a medical one. 

Our chemo hats are made in soft viscose jersey — a fabric chosen for good reason. It’s gentle stretch moves with you rather than gripping, and doesn’t trap heat around the head the way tighter fabrics can. If you’ve ever pulled off a hat mid-afternoon because it felt suffocating, you’ll notice the difference immediately.

Every hat is cut deeper than standard for full coverage at the neck line, and shaped with more volume through the crown to create a more natural silhouette of a hat worn over hair. It’s the kind of detail only a milliner thinks to build in.

We size from XS to XL because fit matters, and hand-finish each hat so the design details can go further than a machine ever allows.
