GORILLA GRIP II - FOR WATER PROOF NYLON
Hats
come
in
all
shapes
and
styles—six-panel,
five-panel,
trucker,
curved
bill,
flat
bill,
structured,
unstructured,
you
name
it.
Add
in
the
different
fabrics, colors, and fits, and it can get confusing fast.
One
thing
to
know:
the
most
popular,
trendy,
or
“branded”
hats
are
always
the
most
expensive,
even
though
the
big
brands
don’t
actually
make
the hats themselves. Companies like Nike and others simply order high-quality blanks and add their logo afterward.
Then
there
are
the
premium
hat
makers—Richardson,
New
Era,
and
YuPong—known
for
excellent
construction,
consistent
sizing,
and
dependable
quality.
They
cost
more,
but
you’re
paying
for
materials
and
fit,
not
just
the
name.
Right
behind
them
are
hats
that
match
the
name
brands
in
quality
but
come
at
a
better
price.
For
example,
the
Port
Authority
C112
is
nearly
indistinguishable
from
its
Richardson
counterpart.
I
have
clients
who prefer the Port Authority version specifically because of its fit and value.
And
then,
of
course,
there
are
the
bargain
hats—the
$2.99
specials
from
craft
stores.
They
work
as
giveaways,
but
for
custom
patches,
dimensional
logos,
or
long-term
wear,
I
avoid
them.
They
simply
don’t
hold
their
shape,
don’t
take
patches
well,
and
don’t
reflect
the
level
of
quality I deliver.
Below,
you’ll
find
several
recommended
hat
models
I
work
with
regularly.
These
are
all
solid,
reputable
choices,
with
slight
differences
in
structure
and
finish
reflected
in
their
price
points.
The
listed
pricing
represents
an
estimated
ballpark
cost
including
a
custom
dimensional
patch
or logo when ordering around 25 pieces—something you won’t see on many websites.
As
with
anything,
prices
may
shift
with
supply,
sizing
needs,
or
materials,
and
larger
orders
often
bring
the
cost
down
significantly.
For
example,
the C112 can drop to around $15 per hat with sufficient quantity.
Use
this
list
as
a
starting
point
to
plan
your
budget,
and
feel
free
to
contact
me
for
a
tuned
estimate
tailored
to
your
design,
patch
style,
and
preferred hat model.

HAT GUIDE AND PRICING
Hats
come
in
a
variety
of
shapes
and
styles.
from
six
panel,
five
panel,
trucker,
flat
bill to colors. Add to that the actual fabric in the hats and it can get confusing!
You
can
figure
that
the
most
popular,
trending
or
branded
hats
will
be
more
expensive
regardless
of
their
quality
and
are
not
made
by
the
brand,
Nike
etc.
They
have
them
manufactured
with
their
logo
or
have
it
added
after
the
fact
to
“blanks,
unadorned hats.
Then
you
have
hats
like
Richardson,
New
Era
and
YuPong
that
are
both
quality
and
expensive.
Following
there
are
hats
that
are
every
bit
as
good
as
the
“name
brands”
at
lower
cost.
A
great
example
is
the
Port
Authirty
C112,
indistinguishable
from
its
Richardson
counterpart.in
fact
I
have
a
client
that
prefers
the
Port
Authority Version.
Lastl
are
the
cheapos,
you
can
find
them
for
$2.99
at
Hobby
Lobby.
Some
are
not
to bad as giveaways but personally, I stay away from them altogether.
Shown
below
I
have
listed
several
models,
these
are
all
quality
hats
with
some
being
slightly
better
than
others
and
is
reflected
in
the
price.
That
price…
incidently
itreflects
the
very
close
ballpark
price
of
that
hat
complete
with
a
dimensional
logo
if
ordered
as
25
pieces.
You
won’t
see
this
on
many
websites.
In
the
case
where
sizing
is
a
factor
or
supply
chain
or
fuel
costs
elevate
the
price
I
will
have
to
do
likewise.
In
addition,
the
price
can
go
down
with
larger
orders
fro
bulk
pricing.
Example
the
c122
can
get
down
to
$15
per
hat
with
a
large
enough
order.
Regardless,
the
list
below
gives
you
a
great
starting
point
to
figure
your
budget.

me
for
a
“tuned”
estimate
to
meet
your
needs.
