Stages of Work
Design & Styling
Work 1:1 with a headwear designer that’s knowledgeable in fabrics, color swatches, sweatbands, tip stickers, to craft the perfect hat line.
Blocking & Steaming
Our manufacturing team takes the raw materials and using pressure/steam blocks the hat into your desired shape.
Sewing & Trimming
Once blocking is complete, our craftsman sew the interior sweat and exterior trim to the hat, attaching any feathers and trims.
Packaging & Shipment
To maximize sell-through we attach custom hangtags/polybags and put the completed styles on a truck to arrive at your store.
