Design trends for headwear
run the gamut, from
minimalism to
bold logos.

ther will sustainability, especially considering the booming generation of environmentally conscious consumers currently swarming
the marketplace.
"Sustainability is a driver for more and more people," Roberts
says. "Where did you get it? How was it made? Is it something that
isn't bad for the planet? These are things people want to know
when they are buying products today."
Neck-and-neck with the idea of comfort is the concept of
performance. "Although consumers find comfort a top priority,
the performance technology behind it is a crucial function
as well," Ki says. "Our Flexfit 110 Pro-Formance cap is not
only fused with Flexfit Technology and an adjustable back
closure for a responsive and comfortable fit, but also engineered with Pro-Formance technology to wick perspiration
away and maintain its premium look."

Business Drivers

Whether retail brands still loom large at the
wholesale level really depends on the end
user's market.
"Rather than shifting away from
the trend for 'branded' headwear, industry suppliers are required to think about the
quality and consistency of their product on a different level,"
