Moisture Wicking Fabric with Black Nickel Finish for Hats
This moisture wicking 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 black nickel finish surface, the 400 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 a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
