Embroidered Trim with Antique Brass Plating for Hats
This embroidered trim is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the antique brass plating surface, the 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps hats consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is an interlining that bubbled after the first press, or elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
