WHAT WE BUILD
Custom straw hats we build
From cowboy to fedora, every custom straw hat style is developed by your production team and manufactured across our vetted factory network.
Cowboy
Wide-brimmed Western silhouette with a pinched crown, built for sun protection and bold private label branding.
Bucket
Soft, downward-sloping brim with a relaxed fit, perfect for custom beach and streetwear drops.
Fedora
Structured crown with a creased top and snap brim, ideal for refined white label resort and lifestyle collections.
Trucker
Straw-front panel paired with a mesh back for ventilated warm-weather custom straw hat manufacturing.
Dad

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
From straw / raffia / paper braid straw hats to your most elaborate vision
A plain straw hat in Straw / raffia / paper braid is straightforward factory work - clean weave, no added detail. A fully developed custom straw hat with rhinestone / hotfix crystal embellishment across the crown is the kind of elaborate construction our production team handles daily. For most brands we work with, the detailed end is the standard brief.
