Why Order a Custom Hat Sample?
Ordering a pre‑production hat sample is the safest way to confirm every detail before you commit to bulk production.
Verify Real Product Quality
A custom hat sample lets you check real fabric, stitching, structure and finishing in hand, instead of relying only on photos or digital mockups.
Confirm Design, Colors & Logo Placement
Seeing your logo, brand colors and placements on a real hat ensures the final design matches your expectations before bulk production.
Test Fit & Comfort for Your Audience
Sampling allows your team or clients to try on the hat, check sizing, crown height and comfort, and choose the best fit for your market.
Reduce Risk Before Bulk Production
Approving a pre‑production hat sample helps you catch and correct any issues early, reducing costly mistakes and giving you confidence to proceed with bulk orders.

Sample Fee & Payment (35 USD, PayPal Accepted)
Producing a custom hat sample uses the same materials, setup, and craftsmanship as bulk production, so we charge a transparent sample fee rather than offering free samples.
Transparent Sample Fee
Each custom hat sample costs 35 USD per design (hat style + logo combination), clearly covering the setup and production of a made‑to‑order sample.
What the Sample Fee Covers
The sample fee includes pattern setup, material usage and production labor, so your sample is produced with the same care and process as bulk orders.
Shipping Charged Separately
Shipping for samples is not included in the 35 USD fee; courier cost is quoted separately based on your delivery address and preferred shipping speed.
Pay Sample Fee via PayPal
You can pay the 35 USD sample fee securely via PayPal, and once payment is received, we immediately start your custom hat sampling according to the confirmed specifications.
