Custom Dad Hat — Cotton with Sewn Edge
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Cotton with sewn edge for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is shape change after washing, measured against the approved sample — 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: 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims 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 shape change after washing.
