Frequently Asked Questions — Custom Richardson 112 Hats

What is the Richardson 112?

The Richardson 112 is a 6-panel, mid-profile structured trucker cap with a pre-curved visor, adjustable snapback closure, and breathable mesh back panels. Made by Richardson — a leading American headwear brand — it is widely considered the gold standard for custom branded trucker hats. The 112's structured front panel gives embroidery a flat, clean canvas that produces crisp logo reproduction across all decoration methods.

Why is the Richardson 112 the most popular custom trucker hat?

Three reasons: fit, availability, and decoration quality. The 112's mid-profile structured front panel gives embroidery — especially 3D puff — a stable, flat surface for sharp logo reproduction. It comes in more color combinations than nearly any other trucker cap on the market. And it's a hat people genuinely want to wear: the adjustable snapback fits most heads, and the mesh back keeps it comfortable year-round. For businesses, that matters — a hat your team actually wears is a hat that builds your brand.

How many colorways does the Richardson 112 come in?

The standard Richardson 112 is available in over 60 colorways, covering solid neutrals (black, navy, khaki), two-tone combinations, and camo patterns. Variants like the 112P, 112PFP, and 112PM expand the palette even further through sublimation printing. If you need a specific brand color match, contact us and we'll find the closest available option.

What decoration methods work best on the Richardson 112?

3D puff embroidery is the most popular decoration on the 112 by a wide margin — the structured front panel holds foam perfectly, giving logos serious dimension and retail-quality visibility. Flat embroidery is ideal for detailed artwork or fine text. DTF heat transfer works well for full-color or gradient designs. Leather patches, woven patches, and rubber patches deliver a premium look that's especially popular for outdoor and workwear brands. We handle all of these in-house using chain stitch, flat embroidery, 3D puff, and heat transfer equipment at our Houston facility.

What is the minimum order for custom Richardson 112 hats?

All cap orders at Wholesale Caps Etc. require a 12-piece minimum. There are no setup fees and no design fees — just the per-unit price for your chosen style, colorway, and decoration method. Every order includes a free digital proof before production begins so you know exactly what you're getting.

How long does production take on custom Richardson 112 hats?

Standard production is 7–10 business days from proof approval to ship. Rush turnaround is available — contact us with your deadline and we'll confirm availability. We've been decorating headwear in Houston since 1979, so we know how to move when you need it fast.

What is the difference between the 112, 112FP, 112PFP, 112PM, 112RE, and other variants?

The core 112 is the original adjustable trucker with structured front panels and mesh back — the one everyone knows. The 112FP uses a full five-panel front construction for a slightly different silhouette. The 112FPR adds a rope across the bill for a vintage outdoors look. The 112PFP and 112P use sublimation printing on front panels for expanded color options beyond standard fabric dyeing. The 112PM features a printed mesh back. The 112RE is built from recycled materials for sustainability-focused brands. The 112PT has a flatter tactical profile. The 112LN adds a thermal lining for cold-weather use. The 112PL swaps the snapback for R-Flex stretch-fit technology for a one-size-fits-most feel without adjusters.
