Custom Formal Hat — Merino Wool Yarn with 3D Puff Embroidery
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Merino Wool Yarn with 3d puff embroidery for bridal and eveningwear studios. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is size grading, because these are bought in precise sizes — 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: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or shade variation within one carton. 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.

Where it sells
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders

- 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 GRS recycled content claim 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 size grading.
