Old Fashioned Swimming Cap Customization Program for Ski and Snowboard Resorts with Piping and Binding
Old Fashioned Swimming Cap Solution for Ski and Snowboard Resorts
This programme covers the full path from a old fashioned swimming cap concept to a repeatable bulk supply for ski and snowboard resorts. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in ski and snowboard resorts sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Ring-Spun Cotton — preferred for breathability in warm conditions
- Moisture-Wicking Knit — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Mulberry Silk — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Pima Cotton — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Piping and Binding, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.

FAQ
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GOTS, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
