Your order, from first brief to dispatch

How your hats get made.

Five clear stages. A shared reference from the first idea to the finished order.

STAGE 01 / 05

Share the brief

Bring a design, a tech pack or an idea. Tell us the hat family, colorways, quantities and destination.

YOUR BRAND / YOUR ORDER

Custom hats for the way your brand works.

A first collection, an event run and a repeat order need different conversations. Tell us how the hats will be used, which decisions are already made and what still needs development.

Launching a private-label hat collection

Start with a small, clearly defined range. Choose the silhouette, intended fit and branding position before multiplying colorways. A logo file alone does not specify a hat: include rear closure, inside labels, hangtags and the presentation your customer will receive.

For OEM development, send the specification you want reviewed. For ODM support, show the direction and identify what you would like to develop together.

Ordering for an event or team

Share the required arrival date, destination and quantity breakdown. Work backward through transport, production, sample approval and possible revisions. If several departments or locations receive the order, discuss their quantities and packing labels before confirming the brief.

Returning for a repeat order

Reference the previous approved sample and name every intended change. A repeat logo does not mean unchanged fabric, fit or trim. Keep the earlier specification available and confirm the new material and color references before production.
