Custom Hats in 8 – 10 Weeks
Normally, fully custom hats take around 14 – 16 weeks from design approval to delivery.
Right now, we’re cutting that timeline nearly in half.
For a limited time, The Hat Source is upgrading qualifying custom hat orders to air freight delivery, allowing most projects to arrive in approximately 8 – 10 weeks.
Same factory.
Same fully custom process.
Just significantly faster delivery.
This is the Fast Track Hat Program.
Minimum order: 300 hats
- Air freight included on qualifying custom orders
- Typical timeline 14 to 16 weeks, now 8 to 10 weeks
- Minimum order 300 hats
Program valid through the deadline or while tariff relief remains active.
Why We Can Do This Right Now
Due to a temporary tariff adjustment, we’re able to move overseas production faster while maintaining competitive factory-direct pricing.
Instead of shipping hats by ocean freight, qualifying orders will ship via air freight at no additional cost during this promotion.
The result:
- Faster production timelines
- Faster delivery to your business
- Same fully custom hat program
This offer is available for qualifying orders placed during the promotion window.
