Golf hat blanks: 47, Imperial, Pukka and Ahead
47, Imperial, Pukka and Ahead were the four names in my June 2023 search for golf hat blanks. I was particularly interested in rope hats and the shape of the finished cap.
47 and Imperial
I included 47 because of a rope hat I liked. The company has a wholesale program alongside its consumer store.
Imperial's wholesale site requires account access.
Pukka and Ahead
Pukka offers custom headwear, including adjustable hats, stretch-fit styles and knits. That is a custom program, which is different from buying a box of unbranded hats for your own decorator.
Ahead supplies headwear and decoration for golf and other markets. I liked several of its shapes in the original review.
Start with the fit
Order a sample before committing to a style. Compare crown height, brim shape, closure and material. A good logo will not fix a hat shape you do not like.
Ask whether you are buying blanks, decorated stock or a custom construction. Those are different orders with different pricing and lead times. Compare headwear suppliers or read the Reach, Ahead and Meidiney comparison.
