Custom Beanie — Leather with Sandwich Brim
We supply beanie to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Leather with sandwich brim for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is recovery after wear, because a beanie that bags out is dead — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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 GRS recycled content claim 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 recovery after wear.
