Custom Fedora — Velvet with Structured Front Panel
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Velvet with structured front panel for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is brim snap and edge finish — 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 inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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.

How we produce it

- Wear and wash test on the production material, then pre-production sample
- Bulk production with in-line checks on shape, stitching and trim alignment
- Final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing that protects the shape in transit
Where it sells

- 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components 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 brim snap and edge finish.
