Not many wholesale hat suppliers can claim customers such as the NBA, NFL, MLB, NASA, Google, Amazon, and the United States Army. That level of trust is rarely earned overnight.
Since 1979, wholesalehats.com has grown into one of the leading wholesale hats sources in the United States, serving more than 10,000 customers nationwide and globally. Specializing in wholesale blank hats in bulk and offering custom embroidery services, the company has spent more than 45 years building a reputation for dependable supply and consistent service.
The result is a business trusted by organizations of every size, from small local companies to some of the world’s most recognizable institutions
The foundation: Over 45 years of wholesale hat distribution
wholesalehats.com started in 1979 as a family business run out of a spare bedroom, sourcing hats for local retailers before the internet changed how wholesale commerce worked. More than 45 years later, it has grown into a digital platform serving 10,000+ customers nationwide and globally. The core commitment that drove the business from the beginning, connecting dependable craftsmanship with strong brand partnerships, has not changed through that transition. In wholesale hat distribution, longevity at that scale is itself the strongest proof of reliability.
Five reasons major organizations choose wholesalehats.com
- Blank hat product authenticity: wholesalehats.com sources exclusively from 30+ brand-verified manufacturers, including Richardson, New Era, Flexfit, and Imperial. There are no generic resells and no unknown-origin substitutions. Major buyers sourcing at volume need product consistency they can verify, and brand-verified sourcing is how that consistency is guaranteed.
- Scale readiness: With 600+ blank hat styles available and MOQ ranging from 24 units to tens of thousands, wholesalehats.com handles large-volume programs without the unusual lead times that smaller suppliers struggle with. Buyers can run test orders and mass production through the same fulfillment model.
- Experienced leadership: Brian Burr, COO, brings 30 years of direct experience in wholesale hat distribution and manufacturing, along with ASI and SAGE supplier and manufacturer credentials. His expertise has been recognized in Impressions Magazine across four published articles and in Stitches Magazine, covering headwear decoration, screen printing, and heat transfer techniques.
- Operational depth: The leadership team covers every critical function without a single point of failure. Sharon, as President, manages long-term supplier relationships and strategic direction. Brooke, VP of Sales, handles client support and order planning. Jason, eCommerce Director, oversees the online ordering experience for wholesale buyers, managing bulk programs.
- Accessibility: A live answering service is available 24/7, so wholesale customers can reach the team at any point in the order process, not just during standard business hours. For buyers running time-sensitive programs, that accessibility is not a minor detail.
Custom embroidery as part of the wholesale headwear program
For customers who require branded headwear, wholesalehats.com complements their wholesale hat supply with professional custom embroidery services. The program is overseen by Amanda, Art Director and Art Department Manager, whose 20+ years in graphic design and 15 years in embroidery production help ensure artwork is prepared correctly before it reaches production.
That expertise matters because more than 70% of logos submitted for embroidery require modifications to meet production standards. Rather than outsourcing the process, wholesalehats.com handles artwork review and digitizing entirely in-house, allowing potential issues to be identified and corrected before they affect quality or turnaround times.
As a result, customers can source bulk blank hats and embroidery services through a single, experienced supplier. To learn more about the company and the people behind it, visit the wholesalehats.com – About Us page.
