Custom Baseball Cap — Sherpa Fleece with Unstructured Crown
We supply baseball cap to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Sherpa Fleece with unstructured crown for childrenswear and schoolwear. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is crown structure, which decides whether the cap holds its shape — 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: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Where it sells
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders

- Uniform and corporate programmes — held spec for years of repeat orders
- Promotional and event channels — logo application and retail packing
- Outdoor and winter programmes — built for the climate it is sold in
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 Rotterdam or 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 crown structure.
FAQ
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
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.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 14 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
