Hat, scarf and glove set manufacturer in Bangladesh

A hat, scarf and glove set is three knitted accessories sold as one: a beanie, a scarf and a pair of gloves or mittens in one yarn and colour. Retailers use it as a gift line and as an add on beside coats and jackets. The hard part is that the pieces come off different machines, beanie and scarf on flat knitting machines and gloves on glove knitting machines. A hat, scarf and glove set manufacturer in Bangladesh has to make three items read as one product.

Garments Hub BD asks two factories on its bench to price the set both as a set and per piece, so you can later sell a piece alone. The shade of all three is approved together at the lab dip stage, and the whole set is approved as one at the PP sample. Set packing is photographed before cartons close, and the photographs are yours.

Kinds of hat, scarf and glove set

Acrylic knit set

Cuffed beanie, rib scarf and stretch gloves in acrylic. Light, washable and easy to dye in bright shades; the volume retail set, often sold on a hanger or header card.

Wool or wool blend set

Lambswool, or wool with nylon for strength, often in rib or cable. Warmer and softer, with hand wash care and a felting risk to manage.

Fleece lined set

Beanie and gloves lined with polar fleece, with an unlined or fleece edged scarf. Warmer for the same yarn weight, at the cost of a lining operation on two pieces.

Jacquard or patterned set

A knitted motif or Fair Isle style pattern repeated across the three pieces. The pattern has to scale from hat to scarf to glove cuff, so it is drawn for each.

Children's set

Pom pom beanie, short scarf or snood, and mittens or gloves in children's sizes. A snood avoids loose scarf ends, and small parts follow the market's children's rules.

Briefing a hat, scarf and glove set manufacturer in Bangladesh

Yarn

Fibre, count and number of ends for each piece. One yarn across all three is the simplest way to keep shade and hand matched.

Gauge per piece

Beanies and scarves are usually knitted at 5 to 12 gauge on flat machines, gloves usually at 7 to 13 gauge on glove machines. Give each; stitch size will differ slightly.

Sizes

Beanie circumference relaxed, scarf length and width, typically 150 to 180 cm by 20 to 30 cm for adults, and glove sizes or one size with stretch.

Trims

Pom pom in yarn or faux fur, fixed or on a snap; fleece lining in beanie or gloves; woven labels and where they sit.

Set packing

Header card, belly band, box or hanger, the set barcode, and whether each piece also carries its own barcode for separate sale.

Pricing basis

Ask for the price per set and per piece. It shows where the set saves cost and lets you reorder a fast moving piece alone.

Tests for knitted winter sets

ISO 12945-1

Pilling in the pilling box, commonly used for knits. Acrylic and soft wool pill where a scarf rubs against a coat, so agree a grade for each yarn.

Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011; Wool Products Labeling Act (US)

Fibre names for the EU and wool content for the US. Label each piece as well as the pack, so a piece sold apart is still correctly labelled.

US CPSIA

For children's sets: a tracking label, third party testing at a CPSC accepted laboratory and a Children's Product Certificate. Lead testing falls on snaps, prints and coatings, since dyed textiles are determined not to exceed the limit.

What moves the price of a hat, scarf and glove set

• Yarn: wool and wool blends cost more than acrylic, and more ends per stitch use more yarn.
• Gloves, the slowest of the three pieces to knit, link and finish.
• Pom poms, especially faux fur on a snap, and fleece linings.
• Jacquard or patterned knitting, which runs slower than plain rib or jersey.
• Set packaging: a printed box or header card costs more than a belly band.

Lead time for hat, scarf and glove sets

Set samples usually take 7 to 14 days, with the three pieces approved together. Bulk sets usually run 30 to 60 days after written PP approval. Yarn dyed to a custom shade, faux fur pom poms in a matched colour and printed set packaging each add days before packing. The quote gives timing for the complete set, not for each piece.

What we check on hat, scarf and glove sets before shipment

• Glove makeFinger, thumb and cuff lengths are measured, and the fork between each finger is checked for holes and loose ends.
• Set completenessEach pack holds one of each piece in the right size and colour, with labels and barcodes that match the pack.
