Custom Ethnic Hat — Softshell Bonded with Felt Blocking
We supply ethnic hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Softshell Bonded with felt blocking for childrenswear and schoolwear. 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 2000 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 GSO conformity with Arabic labelling 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jebel Ali 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.
