Wool Fabric with Brushed Silver Finish for Hats
This wool 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 brushed silver finish surface, the 140 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
