Different hair, different heads, different preferences. Ten shapes in five sizes, XS to 2XL, each one cut to order. Four questions here will narrow it down.

Our specialism is NHS and surgical teams. A cap that covers hair, fits properly and comes back clean from the wash gets worn in a lot more places than an operating theatre.
They are worn outside work too, including by people going through chemotherapy. If that is you, nothing changes about how we make it: cut to your size, in the fabric you pick, in our own workshop.

Finally I have reached nirvana. A hat that fits a bald bloke with a big bonce. Comfortable all day. Thanks.
I submitted a design that was pretty disorganized. Romi emailed to ask if I could talk live, and she was wonderfully helpful. I left some of the artistic design to her and the team, and the finished product is beautiful.
Great service and caps! Thank you for creating the invoice for our group. All scrubcaps arrived with great customized embroidery. Timely delivery. We love the cap samples for individualized sizing. We are repeat customers =]
