Richardson Hats - Promotional vs Retail-Ready

Promotional headwear and embroidery factories do not need to meet the same requirements and quality standards. As the product is not for sale and is intended for just giveaways. Normally price is the main concern for a promotional headwear factory. Limiting the quality of materials and embroidery production quality used during the manufacturing process. A retail-ready headwear factory's main concern is producing at a very high standard and satisfying their customers. This is where Richardson Hats excels. Richardson Hats are known for its high-end quality construction and precision embroidery ready for sale. We take this seriously and put quality in every stitch, created by an American artist to achieve perfection.

Richardson Hats - The Reality of Hat Embroidery

Finding a custom hat partner can be difficult and confusing. Only industry insiders understand the difference between promotional and retail-ready production facilities. A retail-ready factory produces a product ready to be taken out of the box and put directly on the retail store shelf. The product must be perfect as you are representing a brand name within a retail setting. If the product does not meet a high standard there will be returns or a poor sell-through.

Richardson Hats - Mesh Embroidery

When custom embroidering on laser perforated mesh certain steps must be taken so the embroidery results are perfect. Richardson Hats is proud to say we have 100% in-house USA based digitizers that are artists at heart. They know the DST embroidery file has to be digitized for that specific mesh which includes making sure the tear-away backing is matched to the color of the mesh. This allows the fabric to blend into the Richardson mesh trucker color without drawing attention to it. When embroidering on a lite soft material the embroidery machine also has to be slowed down so the hat does not get damaged and the fine details in the design can be stitched properly. The speed of the machine will affect the results of the embroidery design when embroidering on specialty fabrics on Richardson performance hats. Ultimately, Richardson hats are made with the highest quality and so taking these extra steps allow for the highest quality embroidery results.

Custom Richardson Trucker Hats

Richardson Trucker hats are the most popular hat styles within the Richardson Sports collection. Trucker hats typically are high crowned and have buckram backing in the front two panels. Another popular trucker hat is a foam front trucker hat. Screen printing on foam front Richardson trucker hats is an option but not very popular. The most common customer request is direct embroidery. The second most popular request is to sew embroidered patches onto the hats. The main reason embroidery and patches are so popular on Richardson's wide variety of trucker hats is because it upholds the same quality standard as the hat. Now, Richardson trucker hats are some of the best quality hats on the market but to achieve the high quality standard of Richardson the cost is more than other brands.

Richardson Hats - Expanded Manufacturing Locations

5 short years ago, most apparel manufacturers imported 100% of their products from China. Now however, having additional manufacturing pipelines other than China has become a critical aspect of importing Richardson hats into the United States. Many brands, including Richardson Sports, have now added Vietnam and Bangladesh to their headwear manufacturing pipeline. This industry-wide expansion was motivated by the 25% tariff imposed specifically on headwear imported from China under Section 301 by the US Government in response to China's unfair trade practices. As of November 2024 the tariffs are still in place and will most likely persist. In fact, not only will they persist, the headwear industry is bracing for even more tariffs levied on China as the new US administration has promised an increase in the coming years.
