Flexfit Cap

Here are some more information for Flexfit Cap:

Hats are some of the most difficult pieces of apparel to embroider. The surface is curved so getting the alignment right is always a challenge. The front of the cap is thicker and needs different forces than just that for simple fabric. Hat World has placed hat embroidery machines in all of their stores so that customers can customize the hats with their name while they wait.

Due to the curved nature of hats along with the thicker seams embroidering hats can be a difficult proposition. Finding a hat embroidery machine or attachment for your existing machine can be difficult and expensive. Customizing hats can be a lucrative business if you have some good sales experience to market your business to local companies in need of advertising specialty items. Once you have found the right hat embroidery machine for the volume you need to produce you can begin to make custom hats.

Here are some tips to use your hat embroidery machine for fun and profit. You will need to find a couple of blank hat wholesalers to give your prospective clients a wide variety of options and prices to choose from. You will need to have bucket style, slouch, fitted, FlexFit and adjustable hats to choose from. Embroidery position is also a key to gaining an embroidery job. Some people only want embroidery on the rear of the cap. This area generally takes a much smaller stitch area than the front. Front embroideries generally can not be any higher than two and a quarter inches.

The embroidery can consist of a logo (which will need to be digitized), and existing pattern or stock design or text only. Text may be added to either stock designs or logos at the customer's request.

Keep in mind that you should charge a complete price for the hat and the embroidery as you need to charge for both the hat and a markup and the embroidery. Depending on how quickly you can digitize you may want to offer that service at no charge as an added value to your customer. Consider your wholesale hat supplier's minimum order requirement in setting your own minimums for special orders. If you wholesale source has a twelve hat minimum you should as well. A final word for using your hat embroidery machine for business; do not forget to factor in your time on each job and not just the materials when quoting a final price.

Authentic Wildlife Series Line of Collectible Hats Has Grown From 4 to 48

What began with four original designs – the Buck, Mallard, Labrador and Bass - depicting the trademark outdoor sports of hunting and fishing, has now grown to 48 one-of-a-kind designs in DRI DUCK’s Authentic Wildlife Series line of headwear.  The original, embroidered designs have become an industry trailblazer, creating a collectible series of wearable art for outdoorsmen of all types.   The quality and uniqueness lit the fire in what can now be called a bonafide success story.  The Authentic Wildlife Series’ original design collection grew 1100% in just three years – from 4 to 48 one-of-a-kind designs that simply make wildlife come alive! 

“It’s a supply and demand thing,†says Scott Tubbs, President of DRI DUCK.  While it seems the Midwesterners were the originators setting the trend for many of the new designs, it wasn’t long before the East and West Coast folks starting to weigh in.  “They were the driving force behind our salt water fish designs,†said Tubbs.  DRI DUCK responded with new original embroidered art by way of the Marlin, Sailfish and Salmon.

For the collector or advocate, join DRI DUCK in spotlighting awareness for Endangered Species.  Four meticulously designed Wildlife scenes perfectly depict the unique likeness of an image fading fast from the planet:  Peregrine Falcon, Eastern Cougar, Gray Wolf and the Grizzly Bear – all crafted from 100% pure Organic Cotton.   “DRI DUCK works with conservation groups through a variety of alliances and as a result, our design fabrication is the most authentic representation and it serves as a voice for the endangered,†said Cathy Groves, Vice President Marketing for DRI DUCK.   

DRI DUCK takes their role in the animal world seriously, and is committed to the environment and green initiatives from the inside out.  As part of their enterprise-wide dedication they have developed a program called Shades of Green, through which they take a comprehensive look at ways DRI DUCK can positively impact the environment. From fabrics to freight, the DRI DUCK team is continuously evaluating day-to-day operations to identify ways to be more environmentally conscious.  As a result of their Shades of Green program, combined with their involvement with the Organic Exchange, a non-profit organization committed to expanding organic agriculture, DRI DUCK began offering 100% certified Organic Cotton apparel in January 2007, including the Eco-conscious collection of jackets for both men and women, and the Endangered Species headwear from the Authentic Wildlife Series.

The Authentic Wildlife Series is a high-quality collection of hats and caps designed with DRI DUCK standards of uncompromising craftsmanship.  You’ll find a full range of designs and color options, 100% cotton chino twill or camo patterns with 60% cotton/40% peached twill, Velcro-adjustable straps or FLEXFIT® options, mesh back and styles for women, as well. 

For the man (or woman) in your life, that guy (or gal)  who hunts, fishes or just loves the great outdoors, put DRI DUCK on your shopping list and grab a Wildlife Series hat.  Better yet, start his (or her) collection this Holiday season.  We invite you to find the style that will keep you looking a head above the rest.

Is it lame to wear a poker hat to a casino?

So, I usually stick to only wearing one hat ever when I play cards. I've had it for years and it's really comfortable. Unfortunately, it ripped and is unfixable at this point.

Unless you are going to a black-tie European casino, then no. Otherwise, just wear what you want and be comfortable.
