Custom Formal Hat — Waxed Cotton with Metal Eyelet
We supply formal hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Waxed Cotton with metal eyelet 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 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare SNI or SIRIM documentation per destination 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 Jakarta or Port Klang 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.
