Custom Dad Hat — Fur Felt with Elastic Sweatband
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Fur Felt with elastic sweatband for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is shape change after washing, measured against the approved sample — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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.

How we produce it

- Shape sample with elastic sweatband applied, blocked or knitted to the approved profile
- 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
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders
- E-commerce and small-batch brands — low minimums across many designs
- 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 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 change after washing.
FAQ
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.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare azo dye-free declaration and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
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.
