Felt Fabric with Antique Copper Finish for Hats
This felt fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the antique copper finish surface, the 360 gsm 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
