Luxury Hats Are Cool — But Pricey
Melin turned everyday caps into fashion statements. Their hats combine performance and prestige, but the $100+ price tag can make small brands hesitate.
If you’re a U.S. hat brand dreaming of that same sleek, durable, water-resistant look without melting your budget, this article will help.
JoinTop, a global custom hat manufacturer with factories in China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, has cracked the code.
The Short Answer
Custom Melin hats are high-performance caps built with water-resistant panels, sweat-proof linings, and precision stitching for ultimate comfort. JoinTop’s OEM hat factory reproduces the same engineering—offering custom Melin-style hats with logos, no-minimum orders, and factory-direct wholesale pricing for brand-level profitability.
Why Are Melin Hats So Expensive Anyway?
Melin uses premium materials—hydrophobic fabrics, antimicrobial sweatbands, and floating visors. Every detail justifies the price.
JoinTop’s advantage: we buy the same performance materials in bulk and run a dual-country quality control process. You get Melin-level quality without Melin-level pricing.
JoinTop produces 5 million custom caps annually for more than 300 international brands.
Can You Really Get a Custom Melin Hat?
Yes, but Melin’s collaborations often come with a premium price.
That’s where ÚneteTop steps in. We provide OEM and private-label production for brands that want Melin-level craftsmanship. From breathable mesh panels to floating visors, we tailor each detail to fit your brand’s identity. Think of it as luxury-grade performance at manufacturer-direct pricing.
How Much Does a Custom Hat Cost?
Most custom hats range from $10–$50 per piece, depending on material, style, and quantity.
When you order through our OEM hat factory, you pay manufacturer-direct rates with no hidden mark-ups.

Logos That Sell: The Power of Branding
A logo turns a hat into a story. Melin’s subtle 3D marks are instantly recognizable.
En ÚneteTop, we use laser embroidery, silicone molds, and woven patches so your logo looks premium and feels authentic.
