More details
Material & Performance
The Richardson 258 is a structured 5-panel rope cap in 100% performance polyester. The performance polyester is a moisture-wicking synthetic, paired with a Stay-Dri sweatband that draws moisture away from the forehead. This combination distinguishes it from cotton or cotton-poly blends found in traditional trucker or dad hat styles.
Design & Construction
The 5-panel construction and braided bill rope along the brim create a retro-inspired rope cap silhouette. Mid-profile crown with pre-curved brim and snapback closure. The structured crown maintains its shape for consistent decoration placement.
Print Compatibility
Compatible with Embroidery and Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing. The structured performance polyester front panels provide a firm embroidery surface. Note that DTG on 100% polyester may require specialty treatment compared to cotton-based blanks, as water-based DTG inks bond differently to synthetic fibers.
