Hats are made from a variety of materials, but the "Thermo Hat" is made using a unique method.
This hat is lightweight and breathable, offering a comfortable fit while maintaining a classic silhouette.
This time, we will introduce the process of how Thermo Hats are made.
1. What is thermo material?
The "thermo material" used in thermo hats is a special synthetic fiber that has been hardened by heat.
Unlike regular felt or straw materials, it has the ability to retain its shape when heat is applied.
This makes it easy to create delicate designs and sturdy forms, and it is also lightweight and breathable.
2. Formation of the material
The manufacturing process for Thermo Hats begins with knitting special synthetic fibers.
This fiber has the property of hardening when heat is applied.
The knitted material is still soft, so it moves on to the shaping process from here.
3. Molding — Two rounds of revisions before the final product is ready
The woven thermo material is placed into a hat-shaped mold and shaped using heat and pressure.
This is where the thermoplastic material hardens and creates a solid form.
However, this process is also one of the difficult aspects of Thermo Hat.
During the initial molding process, the crown area was distorted more than expected, which threw off the position of the band and the overall balance.
We reviewed the amount of heat and pressure applied, then set it back in the mold and made the necessary corrections.
However, during the second molding, the brim did not harden evenly, resulting in a wavy finish in some areas.
Finally, to ensure a more uniform heat distribution, the hat is molded a third time, adjusting the time and temperature until the ideal shape is achieved. This trial and error is what gives hat making its depth and the unique character of each product.
4. Attaching the lining and decoration
A sweatband is attached to the inside of the hat to make it more comfortable to wear.
5. Final check and completion
Finally, the shape and quality are checked, and minor corrections are made before the product is completed.
The result is a lightweight and stylish thermo hat.
The appeal of Thermo Hat
The Thermo Hat is a perfect hat for the spring and summer seasons because of its light weight and breathability.
In addition, the high degree of freedom in shape means it can be adapted to a wide range of styles, from classic designs to modern ones.
Another attractive feature is that it does not easily lose its shape and can be used for a long time.
At ReqHatter, we value making high quality hats.
When manufacturing our Thermo Hats, we aim to reduce waste and create designs that can be used for a long time. We hope you will find the perfect one for you!
