Custom Bucket Hat — Faux Fur with Metal Buckle Strap
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Faux Fur with metal buckle strap for bridal and eveningwear studios. 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 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, or minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings 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 UPF rating where it is sold as sun protection.

A first sample takes 10 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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare REACH nickel-release test for metal findings and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
