This company name came from (http://www.suttondist.com/Closeouts.html)
but showed no web site link in the company contact information:

"CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAYS: $1.00 EACH (Minimum 20) ... Christmas stockings,
three sizes available. Santa Hats, 2 sizes available. Approx. 2,000
units in stock. Immediate Delivery. JUST ADD WATER, 18106 Conestoga
Lane, Chino Hills, CA 91709. Phone (909) 393-6954."

This UK site states their santa hats are available in bulk, which
should reduce the price.  They have many santa hat variations -

A $.99 santa hat is available here and the site also mentions bulk on
another santa hat: http://www.santasuits.com/access.htm

The web site at http://www.all4parties.co.uk/christmas_party.htm has a
cheap santa hat and may lower the price for bulk sales.  It is also in
the UK.


I hope this information proves of assistance in your quest.  If you
need further clarification before rating, please ask and I will be
happy to conduct additional research.

Request for Answer Clarification by dogsbollixxx-ga on 29 Oct 2002 09:55 PST

Hi
Thanks for that.  I do intend to boy about 20,000 so I'm really
looking for a manufacturer of them.  I haven't looked through all your
answer yet but just thought I'd add that in.

Thanks for the clarification.  I have contacted the firm of Pacific
Caps (http://www.pacificcaps.com) and ascertained they take custom
orders of santa hats.  I queried a sales representative by telephone
and he will soon be viewing this question and then contacting me with
information based on your 20,000 request.  I also asked him to
estimate the shipping charges to Ireland for an order of your size. 
I'll let you know what I discover as soon as I receive the
information.

For shipping purposes, what is the city/town where the delivery will be made?

I have been communicating with a very nice sales representative from
Pacific Caps and he has given me permission to relate his name and
email to you in this forum.  His name is Pelee Johansson and his email
is pjohansson@pacificcaps.com

I believe it would behoove you to make direct contact with him on the
custom order as you may require various sizes of the hat (perhaps
color shades as well) and you will also be able to provide Pelee with
your personal shipping information in Ireland.  He has been most
gracious and helpful, and he has responded promptly to my queries. I
believe you'll enjoy your exchanges with him.

Should you need any clarification after communicating with him, please
request it before rating my answer and I'll be happy to conduct
further research.

No complaints, got exactly what I asked for though I'll learn myself
to be more specific in future.  Very prompt and helpful

Thank you for your rating and comments, and I hope you and Pelle will
be able to work everything out for a successful partnership...and an
early Merry Christmas to you and yours. :)
