Custom Fedora — Neoprene with Powder Coating
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Neoprene with powder coating for e-commerce and small-batch brands. 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 500 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 GSO conformity with Arabic labelling 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
- E-commerce and small-batch brands — low minimums across many designs
- 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 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 ribbon stitching.

We prepare GRS recycled content claim and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
