Custom Flex Fit Hats in Review - A Humble Perspective

By
Custom flex fit hats over the last several years have seen a trajectory that is off the charts. Diving in and giving a humble opinion on why and how to sort through the maze is what this article will attempt to do.

Most customers looking for a Flex Fit style hat are prone to a particular brand like YuPoong or the Original FLEXFIT name. Other brands to consider are NEW ERA, Richardson and Pacific Headwear. You cannot go wrong with the quality of any one of these - what distinguishes one from another has more to do with fabrics and features.  For example, if you are wanting a high-end performance fabric with all the bells & whistles, Pacific Headwear or Richardson is the way to go.  If you need a solid color, good quality the Original FLEXFIT is the perfect “fit”.  NEW ERA is the official hat for Major League Baseball and thus, the quality is very high.
As an alternative, there are a couple not so well known Flex Fit style hats that offer a good quality feel, have some performance fabrics available, but mainly are in a solid color or mesh back style.
Finally, for larger quantities and the less discerning taste, the custom overseas route is an option, particularly when price is the driving factor.

In conclusion custom flex fit hats are one of the most popular style hats in the industry and one that continues to pick up steam. Over 10 years ago it was a small percentage of the overall market but now I would estimate 30% of the market is custom flex fit hats. Personally, I like the hats alot and recommend them to anyone who asked me for advice. I believe that quality as well as how they feel when you wear a fitted hat is a major reason for the overall success. I also believe that once someone experiences the quality factor they are not going back to traditional hats!

What is the difference between unstructured VS structured custom caps

So what is the difference between unstructured vs structured caps?  Many of our customers over the years have asked this question and its a very good one. There are basically two different options with a little variation occasionally in mix of things.  1) Unstructured 6-panel cap 2) Structured 6-panel cap Unstructured 6-Panel Cap: An unstructured custom cap is a cap that does not have a hard internal structure. A n unstructured custom cap does not have this firm structure and so it will not hold its shape when it is not being worn. If you look at an unstructured cap when it is laying flat on a table or other surface you will notice that it sort of flops over and lays almost flat. The above are images of caps that are unstructured and here are some links of caps that we have on our site that unstructured: http://www.capstoyou.com/Custom-Washed-Chino-Twill-Caps-OSH-p/osh-wct.htm http://www.capstoyou.com/Custom-100-Lt-Weight-Brushed-Cotton-Value-Hat-p/cp7...

  Customized Mugs            Why Mugs?          Customers (and potential customers) like getting gifts. Everyone likes to get something a little extra.

A mug with your custom logo is a highly useful product that quietly displays your brand.  Mugs are highly usable while at the same time discretely displaying your logo. Customers use what the see or know, so if your logo is on the mug they grab for their afternoon caffeinated beverage, it creates a familiarity which leads to branding which leads to more jobs for you.   Customized promotional products, such as mugs, have the potential to boost your brand recognition.       High Frequency Use Over 50% of adults drink either coffee or tea   Can be used every day potential multiple times a day They can be used for ...
