Shaw recommends the Port Authority Eco Snapback Trucker Cap for keeping brands front and center while reducing waste. Made from 100% recycled polyester, including both the structured twill front panels and breathable mesh back, it’s a sustainable upgrade to a standard cap. “It comes in several colors to coordinate with your client’s branding,” Shaw says. The cap has a structured, mid-profile fit with a seven-position adjustable snapback closure. The front panel offers space for embroidery or patches, making it an easy choice for outdoor events, branded apparel programs or ecoconscious campaigns.
