We also tailor bonnets using other fabrics.
Gold and silver bullion cords and tassels are also available. You can see these on our Chancellor regalia page.
We guarantee our regalia and after sales service.

*Our soft cap mortars are slightly elasticised so there is some allowance between sizes. If you are in-between sizes, always go for the larger size.
Keep in mind that all head shapes are different and this will affect sizing and fit. If you are unsure, just remember you can exchange your headwear according to the terms and conditions on our website.
The bonnet should sit flat on your head (not fluffed up like a chef's hat). The tassels drape to one side as determined by your university.
