Custom Fedora — Felt with Contrast Piping
We supply fedora to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Felt with contrast piping 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 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or shade variation within one carton. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling 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 Shanghai or Shenzhen 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.
