Custom Bucket Hat — Wood with Die-Casting
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Wood with die-casting for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is UPF rating where it is sold as sun protection — 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: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York 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 UPF rating where it is sold as sun protection.
FAQ
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.

Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 14 working days, and each revision about 4 days.
