SALTYmf Ole Betsy Trucker

The SALTYmf Ole Betsy Trucker is a PVC patch trucker hat on the Richardson 112 platform. Ole Betsy design on a raised PVC patch, classic mesh-back trucker build, three earned colorways: White/Black, Aluminum/White/Black, and Harvest Duck Camo.

PVC patches sit differently than embroidery or leather. The raised rubberized surface reads modern and holds fine detail, and the material shrugs off water and abrasion better than fabric-based patches.

Frequently asked questions

What is a PVC patch hat?
A PVC patch hat is a cap with a raised rubberized PVC (polyvinyl chloride) patch stitched or heat-attached to the front panel. PVC patches read modern and dimensional, hold fine detail without embroidery's stitching limits, and resist water, sun, and abrasion better than fabric-based patches. Common in tactical, outdoor, and modern lifestyle headwear.

What is the Richardson 112?
The Richardson 112 is the industry-standard structured trucker cap blank. Foam front with room for a patch or embroidery, mesh side and back panels for airflow, curved bill, plastic snap closure. Used by outdoor, workwear, patriotic, and lifestyle brands as the default trucker platform.

PVC patch vs leather patch vs woven patch: what is the difference?
PVC patches are raised and rubberized, read modern, and resist weather. Leather patches use real leather with the design engraved, read heritage, and age with wear. Woven patches use fabric with the design woven into the yarn, read detailed and colorful, and stay flat over time. PVC is the modern-durable move; leather is heritage; woven is design-forward.

What other Richardson 112 truckers do you make?
The Woven Duck Patch Trucker and the Leather Duck Patch Trucker both run the same Richardson 112 blank with duck-themed patches. Same platform, different patch material and design.
