Blanks versus custom hats

A blank is an existing hat that can be decorated. A custom construction can change the panel layout, fabric, crown, closure and other parts. Ask which route a supplier’s quote covers.

The golf hat blanks article covers 47, Imperial, Pukka and Ahead. The hat manufacturer comparison covers Reach, Ahead and Meidiney.

What to sample

Compare the crown height, brim shape, fabric and closure before approving the logo. For a rope hat, include the rope color and attachment in the specification. Minimums and lead times depend on the program and design, so request them with the sample.
