Custom Fedora — Jute Braid with Straw Weaving
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Jute Braid with straw weaving 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 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, 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 GRS recycled content claim 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.
