Custom Formal Hat — Wool Felt with Rubber Coating
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Wool Felt with rubber coating for uniform and corporate programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is grosgrain ribbon lustre and edge — 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 shade variation within one carton. 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.

Where it sells

- Outdoor and winter programmes — built for the climate it is sold in
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 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 grosgrain ribbon lustre and edge.
