Custom Trucker Hat — Felt with Metal Eyelet
We supply trucker hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Felt with metal eyelet for childrenswear and schoolwear. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is crown height consistency across the run — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. 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.

How we produce it

- Material sourcing and a finished sample in the agreed Felt
- Shape sample with metal eyelet applied, blocked or knitted to the approved profile
- Wear and wash test on the production material, then pre-production sample
- Bulk production with in-line checks on shape, stitching and trim alignment
- Final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing that protects the shape in transit
Where it sells
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders
- E-commerce and small-batch brands — low minimums across many designs
- Uniform and corporate programmes — held spec for years of repeat orders
- Promotional and event channels — logo application and retail packing
- Outdoor and winter programmes — built for the climate it is sold in
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 salt spray test for metal finishes 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 crown height consistency across the run.
