Custom Fedora — PU Leather with Die-Casting
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in PU Leather with die-casting for uniform and corporate programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is felt body blocking, which sets the crown lines permanently — 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: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or shade variation within one carton. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 Los Angeles or New York 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 felt body blocking.
FAQ
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.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 1000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
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.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
