Custom Beret — Toyo Straw with Water-Repellent Finish
We supply beret to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Toyo Straw with water-repellent finish for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is sweatband material, which is where cheap berets fail first — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. 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.

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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings 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 sweatband material.
