Custom Dad Hat — Cotton with Contrast Piping
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Cotton with contrast piping for e-commerce and small-batch brands. 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: 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 GSO conformity with Arabic 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jebel Ali 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.
