Embroidery is the main method of decorating hats (like the photo that Chris posted).
Sometimes hats can be screen printed, but because of the texture of the hat and the seams, they are mostly embroidered. Plus embroidery just looks better on hats
This is an example of my shirt supplier: They charged me $150 bucks for a 2 shirt sample, but will take that $150 I paid for the sampling fee and credited towards my larger order.
Payments for sample fees are usually done by Western Union. I know many people are weary about using Western Union, but it's by far the quickest way to get our samples/orders going. They do also accept checks, money orders, etc.
So I hate to seem like we are milking you for all of your contacts/information but I was wondering, is this an overseas company as well? And if so is that like a flat rate? Iam having problems with screenprinters and need to find a new company to produce my tees and hoodys.
Thanks

^^^Nice hats... Just curious did you get a different model hat then chris or did you get the same ones but curved them yourself. They seem like something Ive seen surfers wear with the little curve. They look nice once again and thanks for sharing.

I ordered low profile flex fit hats. The pictures are from the warehouse I haven't even gotten the hats yet. I'll be sending out the payment via western union tomorrow, I'm not sure how long it'll take to get them though.

I thought I did a good job of checking things out before i went with that logo. I'll do some more checking but I'm pretty sure my logo hasn't infringed on anyone else's and I most certainly am not trying to copy or rip anyone off.

I didn't figure you were trying to rip anyone off, but you know how sometimes two great minds think alike.
I'm fairly certain I've seen a hat logo like that before from a big name brand, but for the life of me I can't remember which one.
Looks like I was probably worried for no reason. They are definitely completely different logo concepts, but I can see why I thought they were similar.

Yeah, I definetly see your point Rodney! Thanks for the heads up though. I wouldn't want to have gone to all this trouble and found something like that out.

So its almost 3 months since you posted your samples, did you ever get the samples shipped and how did everything work out for you?
Re: Labeling for fitted hats - getting garments custom made from international manufacturers (China)
I've received a bunch of sample hats from them. I'll post up some more pics later. I'm having a ton of problems with sizing. I'm going with the "flex fit" style which they don't really do but are willing to accommodate me anyway. I've sent them measurements but it's really hit or miss. I ordered 20 hats and almost half of them are way to big for anyone. I may just go with fitted hats instead of the flex fit.
They are very eager to please and want to do business with me but I just can't get past the sizing issues that I've had. I'd like to go through these guys but with 3 sample orders in to them and having quite a few of the hats be un-sellable I'm kinda leaning towards going through the real flex fit and just getting them embroidered.
