Custom Bucket Hat — Wheat Straw Braid with Felt Blocking
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Wheat Straw Braid with felt blocking for e-commerce and small-batch brands. 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: shade variation within one carton, 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 GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Shanghai or Shenzhen 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.
