Which Richardson Hat Should I Choose?
Short answer: Choose the Richardson 112 for the classic structured trucker, the 112FP for a seamless front, the 168 for a tall patch-friendly panel, or the 111 for a relaxed, garment-washed feel. The 256 and 258 are rope-hat options with different builds. Every style here is a genuine Richardson blank that Catalyst Caps decorates in Argyle, Texas.

Which front works best for my logo?
If your logo has a wide, uninterrupted shape, start with the 112FP's seam-free front. If you want a prominent patch, compare the 168's tall front and the rope-hat styles. For a traditional embroidered team or company hat, the 112 is the familiar starting point. These are style suggestions, not artwork limits: our designer reviews your file and sends a digital mockup before production.
Can I mix colors and decoration methods?
You can mix colors within the same style at no extra charge when the artwork remains the same. On each product page, select a color and decoration—flat embroidery, 3D puff embroidery, or a patch option—then set a quantity of at least 50 caps per style. If you need multiple decoration treatments or have an unusual placement, contact us before ordering.
What does the order include?
The per-cap price includes the Richardson blank, front-panel decoration, designer review, a digital mockup for approval, and free U.S. ground shipping. Flat embroidery starts at $18 per cap on 111, 112, 112FP, and 168, and $23 on 256 and 258, for 50–99 caps. Automatic savings are $1.50 per cap at 100–249 or $2.50 at 250+ of the same style.
