Dad hats made to order for brands and promotions

A dad hat is an unstructured six-panel cap with a soft, low crown and a curved brim. It sits close to the head and looks worn-in from the first day, which is why brands use it for casual ranges, merchandise and giveaways. We make dad hats to order: you choose the fabric, wash, color, closure and logo, we send a drawing and a sample, and bulk production starts once you approve it.

For washed, bleach and splatter finishes with catalog numbers, see our guide to custom washed and distressed caps.

Dad hats are one of the styles on our custom baseball cap page. For the full ordering process, see private label hat manufacturing.

What you can customize on a dad hat

  • Fabric: cotton, canvas, corduroy or denim, garment-washed for a soft, worn-in feel.
  • Color and wash: solid colors matched to your Pantone reference, or bleach, splatter and pastel wash effects like the styles above.
  • Logo: flat embroidery is the usual choice on a soft crown; small woven, leather or rubber patches and prints also work.
  • Closure: tell us which strap or buckle you want, or send a reference cap and we will match it.

Custom dad hat FAQs

A dad hat is a type of baseball cap. It has an unstructured, low crown and a curved brim, so it looks softer and more casual than a structured cap with a stiff front.

Yes. Tell us the item number of the finish you like and send your logo and colors. Wash effects vary a little from piece to piece, so we confirm the look with you on the sample.

Flat embroidery works best on the soft front panels. Small patches and prints are also possible. Large 3D embroidery is better kept for structured caps.

Send the item number of a style above or a reference photo, your logo file, the colors, the quantity and your delivery date. We reply with a drawing and a quote, then make a sample for you to approve before bulk production.
