Custom Formal Hat — Cork with Anti-Rust Treatment
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Cork with anti-rust treatment for outerwear and jacket programmes. 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 3000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. 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 CPSIA lead and phthalate testing 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 size grading.
FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare CPSIA lead and phthalate testing and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
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.
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.
