Custom Straw Hat — PU Leather with Anti-Rust Treatment
We supply straw hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in PU Leather with anti-rust treatment for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is mildew resistance for sea freight — 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: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. 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 mildew resistance for sea freight.
