Finding The Right Blank Hats 

Structured vs. Unstructured

One of the main considerations when buying blank hats is the choice between structured and unstructured caps. The differences mainly lie in the front panel of the cap, affecting both the hat's appearance and fit. 

Structured Hats

• Front Panel Support - Structured hats have rigid support inside the front panels that helps the hat maintain a fixed, upright shape. This stiff front makes the hat look the same, whether it's being worn or not.
  
  
• Shape - Thanks to their construction, structured hats offer a more consistent shape that doesn’t conform as closely to the shape of the wearer's head. They often appear more prominent or noticeable because of their defined shape.
  
  
• Usage - These hats are popular in sports and promotional events where a prominent display of logos or text is important. The structure makes them ideal for embroidery and other forms of branding.
  
  
• Appearance - Structured hats provide a polished and professional look, making them suitable for formal or business casual attire.

Unstructured Hats 

• Front Panel Support - Unstructured hats lack the rigid support in the front panels, allowing the hat to conform to the shape of the wearer’s head. This makes them more casual and comfortable.
  
  
• Shape - The lack of internal structure means these hats can appear less uniform and more relaxed. When not worn, they tend to collapse or lay flat.
  
  
• Usage - Unstructured hats are often chosen for casual wear due to their comfort and laid-back appearance. They are favored for everyday use, travel, and informal outdoor activities.
  
  
• Appearance - These hats offer a softer, more approachable look, suitable for casual or sporty attire.

Closure Types

Hats can come in a wide variety of closure types. Each closure type can provide a different fit and style. The most common types of hat closures as part of our range include: 

Snapback - This type features adjustable snaps on the back of the ha, which can be fastened at different widths for a customizable fit. These are commonly found on snapback hats. 

Velcro - Velcros are similar to snapbacks in adjustability. The Velcro closures allow for easy and quick size adjustments. 

Buckle - This closure uses a metal or plastic buckle to adjust the hat’s fit. The strap is typically made of fabric or leather, and you can adjust the size by sliding the buckle. 

Fitted - Fitted hats do not have any closure mechanism as they are made to be a specific size. They are designed to fit snugly on the head without any adjustability. 

Stretch - This type of hat includes an elastic band inside the rim, providing a flexible fit that adapts to the wearer’s head size. They are very form-fitting. 

Strapback - Similar to a buckle closure, they typically use a fabric of leather strap that can be adjusted for size and fastened with a buckle or snap. 

Brims

Our collection of wholesale hats comes with a variety of brim types that can influence both style and function. Here are some of the common types of brims that you can find in our collection: 

Flat Brim - Flat brim hats have straight brims that don’t curve around the edges. These are common in snapback hats. 

Curved Brim - These types of brims are commonly found in baseball caps. This brim style curves down towards the face, providing better sun protection and a classic, sporty look. 

Bucket Hat Brim - Both downward sloping and circular, these types of hats have become more popular recently for the best sun coverage. 

These brims serve a different purpose and add a unique style to the hat, influencing both the silhouette it creates and the degree of sun protection or visibility it offers. 

Brands

Some people may choose specific brands for their blank hats based on their reputation for quality and consistency. Some of our most popular brands include:
