Custom Formal Hat — Rush Grass with Moisture-Wicking Finish
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Rush Grass with moisture-wicking finish for denim and workwear 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 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. 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 size grading.
