Custom Fedora — Hemp Braid with Velcro Closure
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Hemp Braid with velcro closure 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: shade variation within one carton, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. 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.

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 salt spray test for metal finishes 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.
