Knit hats have quickly become one of the must-have styles in autumn and winter fashion trends in recent years. Every year, there are numerous orders placed with manufacturers for knit hats; customers often do not understand why there can be such large variations between prices for similar hats – particularly why children’s custom-knitted beanies cost more than adult custom-knitted ones!
The reasons for the price difference in custom knitted hats can be found in the following aspects:
1. Difference in custom fabric for knitted hats: wool, plush, pure cotton, 90% plush + other blends
2. Knitted cap custom accessories and auxiliary materials
3. The fine workmanship of the knitted hat
4. Knitted hat customization style
5. Customized quantity of knitted hats
The cost difference is first reflected in the raw materials of knitted hats. The prices of artificial wool such as acrylic wool, blended wool, and chemical fiber wool are generally relatively low, while the prices of warm knitted hats made of natural materials such as pure wool and pure rabbit hair are much higher. The highest cost in the raw materials of knitted hats is not cashmere, but cashmere is characterized by its lightness, softness, warmth, and glutinousness, making it very suitable for close-fitting wear. It has excellent warmth, breathability, and comfort, and its production volume is very low. The most expensive knitted hats on the market are mostly made of cashmere.
The price of different types of wool varies. Generally, the higher the density of wool, the higher the price. Therefore, fine wool is more expensive than thick wool. With the same raw material, fine wool knitted hats are naturally more expensive than thick wool knitted hats.
In addition, the price of knitted hats is also affected by factors such as brand, manufacturer, and production time. Knitted hats produced by well-known brands and regular manufacturers have exquisite craftsmanship and excellent quality and also include higher labor costs, naturally selling more expensive than products from small handmade workshops. The popular knitted hats of the new season are generally sold at a higher price, while the inventory hats before the year can only achieve the effect of promotion using price reduction.
Customers who order knitted hats, especially children’s knitted hats, must keep their eyes open. “You get what you pay for” must be remembered. The price of products of different quality is also different. Previously, some customers inquired about our products because they thought our quotation was expensive. After all, others offered them for seven or eight yuan. Later, after receiving samples and seeing the materials used, the truth finally came out: the factory used very poor materials, which were not skin-friendly and might even cause allergies in children. No wonder it was only seven or eight yuan per factory price. It was indeed very cheap. After seeing the samples we provided on demand, they still chose us.
