Custom Straw Hat — Cordura Nylon with Jacquard Knit
We supply straw hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Cordura Nylon with jacquard knit for childrenswear and schoolwear. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is foldability without cracking the braid — 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 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 GRS recycled content claim 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 foldability without cracking the braid.
