Wholesale Beanies: Shopping & Style Guide

By ShirtSpace | Dec 03, 2020 |  Updated Feb 13, 2024

ShirtSpace is your favorite supplier of blank apparel, and we bet you had no idea we also carry wholesale beanies and knitted hats, did you? Well, let us share a little something about ourselves that you may not have known. The ShirtSpace office is located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where we love a good beanie moment! Maybe it is the influence of the people that embrace the beauty of the outdoors regardless of the temperature: hikers and bikers, hunters and fisherman, construction workers, or snowboarders and skiers. Maybe it is the laid back hipster look the “Upper Left” have mastered. A flannel paired with a slouchy beanie has been a classic outfit staple for years. Or maybe it is because we experience all of the seasons and a lot of rain - 174 days on average! Could it be that for most of us it’s the familiarity we like? Beanies were the first kind of hat we ever wore, even as an infant.

Just like a baby being swaddled, people just like to be cozy! Beanies deliver just that. These knitted hats not only provide utility through comfort and warmth but can also make a fashion statement. They fit snugly under hoods to make layering easy, they stay on your head during extreme weather such as a wind storm, and they are the perfect solution to a “bad hair day”. 

Because we love beanies so much we decided to share some of our top picks within the wide selection of wholesale beanies that we carry. Are you trying to match your local or professional sports team? We have options for you! Do you like a chunkier yarn for your knitted hat? We have that too. Is your motto “the floofier the better” in regards to pom-poms on the top of your beanie? We have just the pompom beanie for you! If you are a garment decorator looking to expand your product line to include headwear, we have wholesale beanies designed perfectly to include a brand’s logo, a patch or whatever insignia you want to customize your knitted cap with. With wholesale beanies at super low prices, these quality knitted beanies and fleece caps are a steal of a deal for large bulk orders or smaller purchases alike.

Best Wholesale Beanies to Customize for an Apparel Line, Business or Organization

Perhaps you have an apparel brand that you are considering expanding your product line for. Or maybe your business is creating custom merchandise and you are considering beanies in addition to other clothing. Whatever the case may be, ShirtSpace has wholesale beanies that you can customize to represent your brand, team, or organization. First you should consider what kind of hat you want to customize. Before deciding what style may be best for your brand or desired purpose, check out our blog post giving you the rundown on everything you need to know about hats and caps. If a beanie is the most logical choice for your customer base and intended design, then we have some suggestions for you! 

Our favorite wholesale beanies that are perfect for resale and decoration are the Big Accessories BA527 listed below. This is because the cotton twill patch on the folded cuff is the perfect place to attach a patch or customize however you want. Leather patches with a logo, message or design are really popular right now in the beanie world. Companies like Studio.com make custom leather patches for clothing that would be perfect for a trendy apparel line. The other two wholesale beanies were selected because they are great blank canvases for a logo or design. The cuffed style allows for adjustments to any head size and a good work space if you want to add patches or embellishments to the folded over portion. We also like the heathered elements of these hats. It gives them a high-quality textured look that is perfect for representing any brand, even if you snagged them at low wholesale prices your secret is safe with us!

This is definitely a personal preference when it comes to choosing a type of beanie. Do you like a pom on your beanie or is that just wrong? Some people love them, some people do not.

Camo Print Wholesale Beanies for Those That Want to be Seen- And Those That Don’t

Camo prints have two categories. The first is natural prints that are commonly used for apparel that is worn while hunting or during other outdoor activities in the wilderness. These prints have not made as much of an impact on the fashion world as much as they have for tactical wear and blending into natural surroundings. The other category of camouflage printed beanies have modern, multi-colored prints that many of us are familiar with in street fashion. Sometimes it is the tradition “army” or “olive” green colors, but other times it comes in shades of pink, black and white! The pattern has become very popular in urban street fashion, athleticwear and also children’s apparel. Over the years camo has found its way onto many other types of clothing. Whichever camo print you are devoted to (or perhaps you like both), we have wholesale beanies for either preference.

Chunky Knitted Wholesale Beanies

If you prefer a hat that has a chunkier knit, then we have some suggestions for you. The Top of the World TW5003 has a thick cable knit and is the chunkiest of wholesale beanies we offer. The other two options have noticeable ribbing that is slightly thicker than the knits on many beanies. These knitted hats are good for people of all ages, genders, walks of life. If you brave intense weather or just like a thicker hat, then a chunky, knitted hat or beanie may be a great investment on your part. We recommend this style for the winter months and something a bit lighter in the early fall and early spring. With super low pricing, you can stock up on blank wholesale beanies for every season!

High-Visibility Wholesale Beanies For Road Runners, Bicyclists & Safety Workers

The “brighter the better” is our motto when it comes to safety worker’s attire. Safety workers can stay comfortable, warm, dry and above all use seen with a neon wholesale beanie from ShirtSpace. There are more construction and safety styles available on ShirtSpace.com, but these are our top safety color beanie that stand apart. Two of these have reflective elements that are added safety precautions for high-visibility. The fleece beanie was selected because of the super soft fabric, and also because it is shorter than most beanies. This style is nice if you have a shorter head, or feel that many beanies are too long for you. In situations where you can’t adjust your clothing super often (let’s say you have dirty hands from manual labor, or you operate machinery that you can’t take your hands away from), a good fitting hat is necessary. 

Another group of people that may be interested in high-visibility wholesale beanies are those that run along roads and outdoor bicyclists. It’s important that drivers are able to see these people on the roadways to avoid accidents. Don’t be a statistic and wear as much high-vis clothing that you can to prevent easily avoidable accidents.

Our Warmest Wholesale Beanies

The whole point of a beanie is to keep your head warm - warmer than a baseball cap or a straw hat you would wear on vacation. So when you are facing extremely cold conditions make sure you are keeping your head as warm as possible to retain heat! Regular fleece lining, microfleece and sherpa fleece are all wonderful choices to keep your noggin nice and toasty. The Bayside wholesale beanie featured below has the added advantage of flaps that hang down over the ears, protecting them from wind, moisture and frigid temperatures. Secure the flaps with the attached strings and they will stay snug around the face.
