Choosing the Right Caps for Your Hat Bar

Guests judge a hat bar by what’s on the wall before they ever reach the press. Pick the right blanks and the bar looks like a real shop; pick poorly and it feels like a leftover bin. Here’s a plain-language guide to the workhorse styles we stock.

Richardson 112 — the crowd favorite

The classic five-panel trucker with a mesh back and a structured front. It’s the most requested blank for a reason: the flat front panel is a perfect canvas for patches, it photographs well, and it suits almost any casual event. If you only pick one style, pick this.

Richardson 115 — the low-profile option

Same trucker DNA as the 112 but with a lower, less boxy crown. Guests who find the 112 too tall gravitate here. Stock both and you cover most head shapes and preferences.

Flexfit 110 — the easy fit

An adjustable snapback with a clean front panel that presses beautifully. It fits nearly everyone, which makes it a safe backbone for a crowd where you don’t know sizes in advance.

Dad hats — soft and understated

Unstructured cotton with a relaxed curve. Great for monograms and script patches and for a more low-key, everyday look. Popular with wedding and lifestyle-brand crowds.

How to choose for your event

• Weddings: Richardson 112 in your palette, plus a couple of dad hats for guests who want subtle.
• Corporate: Flexfit 110 or structured six-panels in brand colors for a crisp logo look.
• Bachelorette & birthdays: Trucker blanks for that playful, photo-ready vibe.
