Custom Bucket Hat — Hemp Braid with Felt Blocking
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Hemp Braid with felt blocking for uniform and corporate programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is packability without a permanent crease — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. 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 colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light 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 packability without a permanent crease.
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.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
