Custom Straw Hat — Sherpa Fleece with Chenille Patch
We supply straw hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Sherpa Fleece with chenille patch for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is foldability without cracking the braid — 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: shade variation within one carton, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. 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
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders

- Promotional and event channels — logo application and retail packing
- 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 azo dye-free declaration 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 foldability without cracking the braid.
FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare azo dye-free declaration and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 4 days.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
