Custom Dad Hat — Ripstop Nylon with Embossing
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Ripstop Nylon with embossing for bridal and eveningwear studios. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is embroidery density on washed cotton, which puckers if it is wrong — 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: a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing, 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 embroidery density on washed cotton.
