Carhartt Beanie Customization Program for Sports Teams and Clubs with Padding and Wadding
Carhartt Beanie Solution for Sports Teams and Clubs
This programme covers the full path from a carhartt beanie concept to a repeatable bulk supply for sports teams and clubs. 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 sports teams and clubs 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
- Flame-Retardant Fabric — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
- Elastane Blend — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- Recycled Cotton — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Genuine Leather — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Padding and Wadding, 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.
- Quilting
- Enzyme Wash
- Pleating
- Beading and Embroidery

FAQ
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 300 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for ISO 9001, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
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.
