Custom Ethnic Hat — Jute with Felt Blocking
We supply ethnic hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Jute with felt blocking for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is consistency of hand-finished detail between units — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings 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 consistency of hand-finished detail between units.
FAQ
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.

Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare REACH nickel-release test for metal findings and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
