Custom Dad Hat — Suede with Ultrasonic Welding
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Suede with ultrasonic welding for outerwear and jacket programmes. 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 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing, 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 CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York 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.
FAQ
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light 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.
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.
