How to Launch Your Own Kamel-Style Hat Line — With Factory-Level Quality and Full Brand Control

Contents

Kamel hats are everywhere—in streetwear stores, influencer merch drops, and outdoor lifestyle brands. But behind the clean silhouette and structured design lies one frustrating fact:
You can’t order directly. No online store. No custom options. No low MOQs.

So what do smart hat brands do instead?
They go straight to the factory—and build their own line.

At JoinTop, we manufacture Kamel-style 707 and 804 hats with the same build quality, plus full customization under your brand. And we do it from our own factories in Vietnam, Bangladesh, and China.

Why Kamel Hats Are So Popular With Custom Brands

Whether it’s a blank 7-panel cap for embroidery or a curved 5-panel trucker for patches—Kamel has mastered the art of structure.

Here’s why they’re so loved:

  • 7-panel and 5-panel builds ideal for branding
  • Flat and curved brims with optional rope trim
  • High-quality blanks for embroidery or patches
  • No visible logo – perfect for private labels
  • Priced at $6–$8 USD in bulk

But since Kamel doesn’t sell directly or allow custom orders, many brands now ask us: Can you make something just like it?

Let’s Break Down the 707 vs. 804

Where We Make It (And Why It Matters)

We don’t outsource. We own and operate three production sites to suit your needs.

Vietnam – Balanced for Quality and Speed

  • Duty-free to U.S. via FTA
  • Precise stitch work and QC
  • Great for mid-size brands and DTC drops

Bangladesh – Bulk Order Powerhouse

  • Ideal for 5,000+ unit programs
  • Lower labor costs, factory-direct
  • Used by top EU and Middle East clients

China – Specialty Sampling and R&D

  • Best for new materials and complex trims
  • Legacy QC systems and trim sourcing

You can switch factories as your business grows—while keeping the same JoinTop team and quality.
