Moisture Wicking Fabric with Nickel-Free Electroplating 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 nickel-free electroplating surface, the 240 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
