What is an Organic Cap?

For our customers that want to make a statement and a commitment to the environment we offer The Organic Butler Cap. This material is made from 100% certified organic cotton. We can custom dye the cap in any custom color of your choice, and the dye used is also an environmentally friendly dye.

We take our commitment towards making an environmentally friendly cap one step further by also offering an organic cotton thread for embroidery. The thread is certified to be 100% organic and the dye used to create pigmentation is also free of any harmful chemicals. Includes a woven label and a hangtag for each cap. (Beanie not included).

What are the different materials used for caps?

Thick Cotton Twill

It is an extremely high quality 100% cotton twill material, and it is praised for its sturdy but classy look.

Light Cotton Twill

This is a high quality 100% cotton twill, but it does not have the same weight and thickness as a traditional

cotton twill. Customers like this material, because it provides the same classy look as thick cotton twill.

Because it is lighter, many customers prefer using it for outdoor activities such as hiking, yachting and playing

golf. Also, because it is a softer material, some people prefer this material for women and youth camps.

Acrylic Fabric

This material is thicker and even more sturdy than our Thick Cotton Twill. Some customers choose this material, because the density and texture of the

material gives their caps a high-end and rugged feel. This material is made of 85% acrylic and 15% wool.

What are the Parts of a Cap?

Crown - The front part of the cap that fits over the top of your head and touches your forehead. Usually the main area of embroidery and customization on caps. Can be created as low profile, medium profile or high profile by adjusting the angle of the front crown. Low profile slants backward versus high profile that angles almost straight up from the bill. The crown of the cap is also what determines if the hat is structured or unstructured. Structured caps have a buckram fused to the inside of the cap to keep the front ridged. Unstructured caps has no re-enforcement and cap material sits loose against the head.

Top Button - Fabric covered button that sits directly on the top center of the hat at the intersection of the fabric panels. Button color can match the material of the cap or in a contrasting color.

Eyelets - Round holes sewn in the cap for increased ventilation and style. Eyelets can have sewn borders or metal grommets.

Panels - Fabric pieces used to create the shape of the cap. Most caps are 6 panel caps with a seam in the center of the front crown but there are also 5 panel and 8 panel caps. 5 panel caps are mainly used for "trucker caps" or caps that have screen printing on the front instead of embroidery. Panels are sewn together with thread matching the color of the cap material or with a contrasting color. Fabric of the panels is normally cotton twill and can be brushed or made thicker if needed. Other fabric types are wool, mesh or performance materials that allow for greater moisture wicking or ventilation.

Bill or Brim - The visor that extends out from the crown of the cap to shade you from the sun or elements. The bill is normally curved or can be flat as in "pro-style" caps. Bill is plastic and sandwiched between two pieces of fabric. A contrasting sandwich is created by adding a third piece of fabric along the front of the bill between the top and bottom fabric. Sandwich fabric is normally in a contrasting color and can be screen printed with text for customization. Flip style bill is when a contrasting color of fabric is used on the bottom of the bill and is folded up and over just the front of the bill to look similar to a sandwich style bill. Stitching on the bill can range from 4 rows to 8 rows. Length of bill varies between styles.

Back Closures - On adjustable caps there are a variety of closures used. Most popular are Velcro, sliding buckle, deluxe locking brass buckle or plastic snap (used on truck caps most often). Fitted style and Flexfit style caps have no closure style on the back nor do they have the hole in the back.

Sweatband - Fabric used on the inside edge of the cap to help absorb sweat and keep your cap looking clean and dry. Sweatband styles range from standard cotton to high performance synthetic material with advanced moisture wicking properties.

Embroidery - Standard method for decorating caps and hats. Embroidery is normally done on the front, sides, back or bill of the cap. Standard embroidery or 3D puff embroidery is normally available. 3D puff requires a fairly simple design and created an extremely raised embroidered design. Screen-printing is another way of decorating caps but not as popular as embroidery.
