Custom Bucket Hat — Polyethylene (PE) with Felt Blocking
We supply bucket hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Polyethylene (PE) 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 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or shade variation within one carton. 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 brim stiffness.
FAQ
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
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.
