Why crews order Richardson

The 112 is the standard

Ask anyone in the trades for "a trucker cap" and they picture the 112 — structured foam front, mesh back, pre-curved bill, snapback fit. It's the industry benchmark, and it's the cap we've decorated more than any other single style, ever.

Built for patches

That flat foam front is the perfect stage for a patch. Our specialty is laser-engraving your logo into real leather or leatherette and sewing it on — the rugged, premium look you see on the best crew caps around the Sound. Direct embroidery and PVC patches too.

One size, whole crew

The snapback back fits nearly everyone, so you order one cap for the whole team without sizing headaches — and the color range (solids and two-tones) makes brand-matching or team colors easy.

How we decorate Richardson caps

Leather & laser patches (our specialty)

We laser-engrave your logo into genuine leather or leatherette and sew the patch to the foam front — the premium, rugged look that's become our signature on Richardson 112s. It photographs beautifully and wears for years.

Direct embroidery

Prefer stitched? The structured front takes a crisp embroidered logo with dimensional detail — the classic cap treatment, digitized in-house so it sits right on the foam.

PVC & woven patches

For color-heavy or 3D logos, molded PVC/rubber patches and woven patches give a modern, durable finish. We'll recommend the method that makes your mark look its best on the cap you choose.

How a Richardson cap order works

  1. Send your logo and a rough count through the quote form — takes two minutes.
  2. We recommend a method (leather patch, embroidery, or PVC) and quote it same-day with real decorated pricing.
  3. You approve a proof — for patches, we show the engraving before anything is sewn.
  4. Caps ship or get picked up — typically about two weeks from proof approval, rush available.

Caps price best at two dozen and up; smaller runs carry a small-batch fee, always quoted up front. Reorders keep your patch/logo on file, so round two is one email.

Custom Richardson FAQ

What is the Richardson 112 and why is it so popular?
The 112 is the industry-standard trucker cap — structured foam front, mesh back, pre-curved bill, and a snapback that fits nearly everyone. It's the single most-decorated style in our shop's history, over 7,800 caps. Its flat front is the perfect stage for an embroidered logo or a sewn-on leather or laser-engraved patch.
Can you put leather patches on Richardson caps?
Yes — leather and leatherette patches are our specialty. We laser-engrave your logo into the patch and sew it to the foam front for that premium, rugged look. We also do direct embroidery and PVC/rubber patches.
Is there a minimum order?
Caps run best at two dozen and up. We can do smaller runs with a small-batch fee that's quoted up front. Every quote shows the real number before anything goes to production.
How many colors do they come in?
The 112 alone comes in a huge range of solids and two-tones, so matching your brand or running team colors is easy. We'll help you pick from the live color list when you request a quote.
How long does an order take?
Typically about two weeks from proof approval, with rush options available. Patch orders may add a few days for patch production. You always approve a proof first.
