Custom Bucket Hat — Spandex Jersey with Rubber Coating
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Spandex Jersey with rubber coating for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is brim stiffness, because a limp brim loses the whole silhouette — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims 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 brim stiffness.
