Custom dad caps, specified precisely
The unstructured six-panel is the top-selling silhouette in retail headwear. Ours is built to your specification — fabric, wash, thread, closure hardware, inside label — and decorated flat before assembly, so small marks stitch clean.
The right tool for retail and lifestyle programs
Structured caps project; unstructured caps assimilate. A dad cap gets worn off-site and off-hours, which is where a merch program earns its keep. If your caps are destined for a retail shelf, a customer gift, or a staff program where people choose what they wear, the dad cap consistently outperforms louder formats on actual wear time.
The standard build: washed or garment-dyed twill, a compact flat-embroidered mark front and center, self-fabric strap with metal hardware. Every element is a decision you control — fabric color to PMS, thread colors, buckle finish, a woven inside label with your care line. We document all of it on the proof and hold it across reorders.
The production detail that matters: thin script and small type — the artwork this silhouette favors — survive because panels are embroidered flat before the cap is sewn. Decoration on finished caps distorts over seams; ours doesn't, because the seam doesn't exist yet.

A low-profile, unstructured six-panel cap with a curved visor. No buckram stiffener in the front panels, so the crown follows the head. It reads casual and current — the standard for retail merch and brand programs where people choose what they wear.
Yes. Panels are embroidered flat before assembly, so an unstructured crown decorates as cleanly as a structured one. Small, simple marks perform best; we flag any artwork that won't hold at cap scale during the free mockup round.
