Frequently asked questions

What is a bear trucker hat?
A bear trucker hat is a mesh-back trucker cap featuring bear imagery, typically as a patch, embroidery, or graphic. Mesh-back trucker builds are popular for outdoors-adjacent wear because the airflow keeps the head cool on the trail or around camp. This one uses a woven bear patch on the Richardson 112 blank.

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.

What is a woven patch?
A woven patch is a fabric patch with the design woven directly into the yarn instead of embroidered or printed. Woven patches read finer and more detailed than embroidery, hold up longer than printed patches, and add visual texture without a heavy raised feel.
