Custom Ethnic Hat — Fur Felt with Sandwich Brim
We supply ethnic hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Fur Felt with sandwich brim for uniform and corporate 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 3000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off 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.

Where it sells

- 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components 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.
