Custom Fashion Hat — Washed Cotton with Mercerised Finish
We supply fashion hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Washed Cotton with mercerised finish for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is packing that protects an irregular shape in transit — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them, and shape-protected where the profile cannot be crushed. Test reports for CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same packing that protects an irregular shape in transit.
FAQ
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
Can you do small runs across many designs?

How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 4 days.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
