Silk Fabric with Gunmetal Finish for Hats
This silk 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 gunmetal finish surface, the 160 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
