Custom Formal Hat — Wool Felt Hood with Rhinestone Setting
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Wool Felt Hood with rhinestone setting for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is shape stability across a full production run, since formalwear has no tolerance for variation — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 300 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 UKCA and REACH 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 azo dye-free declaration are prepared for the destination market. We ship to 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 shape stability across a full production run.
FAQ
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
