Adams Headwear 13105 Pigment-Dyed Sunbuster Cap with Extra Long Visor for Fishing, Beach, and Sun-Heavy Days
The Adams Headwear Pigment-Dyed Sunbuster Cap (13105) answers a simple request that ordinary caps cannot: more shade. Its extra long visor pushes coverage well past a standard bill, mounted on a structured six-panel crown of garment-washed, pigment-dyed cotton twill with buckram backing to keep the front standing tall. Sewn eyelets vent the crown and an adjustable leather strap with antique brass buckle and tuck-in grommet closes the back. It is the long-bill specialist of the Adams Headwear family and a warm-season fixture in any wholesale hat program.

Quick Answer: Who Should Reach for the 13105
The 13105 is for faces that spend hours pointed at glare: anglers, gardeners, beach walkers, and sideline parents who have learned that a standard bill quits shading around mid-morning. Programs that want the long-bill idea in a lower, sleeker profile can look at the low-profile cap with elongated bill; the Sunbuster remains the fuller-coverage classic.
Construction Behind the Long Bill
A longer visor puts leverage on a crown, so Adams builds this one structured: buckram backing holds the six-panel front upright and keeps the extended bill from dragging the silhouette forward. The pigment-dyed twill is garment washed for the soft, sun-faded palette the process is loved for, and sewn eyelets, finished in thread rather than metal, let heat escape the crown. The back closes with an adjustable leather strap through an antique brass buckle, its tail tucking into a grommet.
Fit, Shade, and Real-World Wear
The structured crown wears slightly taller than an unstructured dad hat, and the payoff is shade geometry: the extra long visor throws coverage over nose, cheekbones, and sunglasses in hours when a regular bill leaves them lit. The leather strap dials the fit precisely, and washed cotton keeps the cap comfortable when the temperature climbs. Wearers who fish or row quickly stop noticing the extra bill length and start missing it in other caps.
Decoration Guidance
Buckram backing makes the front panel an embroiderer-friendly surface, holding the fabric drum-tight in the hoop; logos come out crisp with none of the pucker soft crowns risk. Tonal thread suits the washed ground, and the long visor itself photographs distinctively in catalog shots. Shops pairing formats often decorate the Drifter distressed twill visor alongside it for buyers who want open-crown shade from the same wall.
Sun-Heavy Settings for the 13105
| Setting | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Fishing and paddling | Extended bill blocks low-angle glare off water |
| Beach and boardwalk retail | Washed pigment shades sell as coastal fashion |
| Community gardens and nurseries | Long shade line for hours of downward-facing work |
| Youth sports sidelines | Parents and coaches get real afternoon coverage |
| Golf practice ranges | Bill length tracks the ball against bright sky |
| Outdoor markets and fairs | Vendors face the sun all day; the visor does the squinting |
| Camps and outdoor education | Durable cotton build with simple strap adjustment |
| Resort pro shops | A functional souvenir guests wear the same afternoon |
Wholesale and Program Buying
Long-bill caps are a self-selecting product: the customer who needs one knows it instantly, which makes the 13105 a reliable specialty slot in seasonal assortments rather than a gamble. Buyers composing a pigment-dyed story often set it next to the Essentials pigment-dyed cap so the display offers standard and extended shade in one washed palette.
Buyer and Reorder Workflow
Sampling is mostly about seeing your logo against the specific washed shade you have chosen, since pigment dye varies intentionally between lots. Once approved, the structured front makes production consistent run after run. Most programs time reorders to land ahead of spring, because the Sunbuster sells with the first stretch of bright weekends and keeps selling until the light fades in fall.
Who Buys the Sunbuster and Why
Coastal and lake-town retailers buy the 13105 because it is merchandise with a built-in reason to exist. Outfitters and guide shops buy it because customers ask for more shade in exactly those words. Groundskeeping and agriculture managers buy it for crews whose necks may be covered but whose faces are not. All of them reorder for the same reason: the extra long visor is a feature customers can see from across the room.
Choosing Between the 13105 and Its Companions
| Style | Shade Approach | Best For | Distinguishing Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13105 | Extra long visor | Maximum face shade in a cap | Structured pigment-dyed long bill |
| Sunbuster ACSB101 | Extra long visor | Letter-coded assortments | Alternate listing of the Sunbuster |
| Extreme Outdoor EOM101 | Cap plus stowable cape | Neck coverage on demand | Outdoor cap with concealed neck cape |
| Youth Pigment-Dyed ACKO101 | Standard bill | Matching kids programs | Youth-scaled pigment-dyed cap |
Our Recommendation
Stock the 13105 wherever your customers squint: waterfronts, ranges, gardens, sidelines. It is not the everyday cap, it is the cap the everyday cap fails into, and programs that carry it discover a loyal repeat customer who will not go back to standard bills. Let it own the shade story while conventional crowns cover the rest of the wall.
Alternatives and Replacement Styles
Buyers who want long-bill shade with a flatter modern profile should compare the elongated-bill EF101 design; those who need coverage past the face entirely should step up to veil and cape styles in the Extreme series. If a discontinued long-bill favorite left a hole in your line, the Sunbuster is its natural successor.
What Sets the 13105 Apart
The Sunbuster commits. Where most caps stretch a bill half an inch and call it sporty, the 13105 pairs a genuinely extra long visor with the structure to carry it, then wraps the function in pigment-dyed, garment-washed charm and finishes with leather-and-brass hardware. Function you can measure in shade, styling you can sell at retail, that combination is rare in the long-bill niche.

Care and Durability
Hand wash cold and air dry with the bill supported flat so the buckram keeps its set. Salt and sunscreen are the enemies of any waterfront cap, so rinse after heavy days. Keep the leather strap from prolonged soaking and the antique brass will age handsomely instead of harshly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Adams 13105 different from a regular cap?
Its extra long visor extends shade well beyond a standard bill, carried by a structured six-panel crown with buckram backing built to support it.
What fabric is the Sunbuster made from?
100% cotton twill, pigment dyed and garment washed, which gives it the soft hand and gently faded coloring characteristic of the process.
Is the 13105 structured or unstructured?
Structured. Buckram backing keeps the front panels upright, which both supports the long visor and creates an excellent embroidery surface.
How does the Sunbuster close and adjust?
With an adjustable leather strap through an antique brass buckle, the strap end tucking into a grommet to stay out of the way.
Does the crown of the 13105 ventilate?
Yes, through sewn eyelets in the crown that release heat during long stretches in direct sun.
Who typically wears long-visor caps like this?
Anglers, gardeners, coaches, market vendors, and anyone who faces hours of direct or reflected sunlight and wants more shade than a standard bill gives.
Is the extra long visor awkward to wear?
Most wearers adjust within a day; the added length sits in peripheral vision briefly and then becomes the feature they miss in ordinary caps.
How should shops decorate the Sunbuster?
Front-panel embroidery over the buckram-backed crown; the taut surface takes detailed logos cleanly, and tonal thread flatters the washed twill.
Why do two Sunbuster listings exist in the Adams line?
The style appears under both numeric and letter codes; 13105 and the ACSB101 listing describe the same long-visor design for different program numbering.
What care routine suits a pigment-dyed sun cap?
Rinse after salty or sweaty days, hand wash cold, and air dry with the visor supported so it holds its shape; skip machine drying entirely.
