Here’s a new twist on the classic

trucker. Structured with a mid-

profile and six-panel construction,

the front of the

Sportsman

Trucker

is 100-percent cotton

chino twill. The soft mesh back is

100-percent polyester. Contrast

stitching enhances the pre-curved

visor, and fabric stripes adorn the

side panels. A plastic tab closure

ensures a personalized fit.

What’s the budget?

“It’s always better to ask

for the budget and then

try to input the cap into that

budget,” says Mosley. A higher

budget allows you to look at

premium options such as per-

formance fabric.

What’s the color story?

If it has to be a specific

color combination such

as yellow and gray, options are

going to be more limited and the

cost will probably be higher. If a

standard black cap will work,

there are myriad options.

Does the fabric matter?

Most promotional caps

are made with standard

cotton twill fabric. Other fabrics,

such as microfiber performance

fabrics, cost more.

How do you want it

decorated?

Embroidery

is a standard decoration

technique because of its clean

look. While you can decorate the

front, sides and back of the cap,

Mosley says it can be more eco-

nomical to decorate only the

front and sides of the cap.
