Custom Fedora — Mesh with Sandwich Brim
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Mesh with sandwich brim for uniform and corporate programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is ribbon stitching, because an unravelled band is the first return — 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 colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Where it sells
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders

- Uniform and corporate programmes — held spec for years of repeat orders
- 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 GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or 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 ribbon stitching.
FAQ
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
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.
