Why Trades Companies Choose the Richardson 112 for Technician Uniforms
Trades technicians are in front of clients every time they show up to a job — a branded hat with a clean, professional logo communicates that your company takes its appearance seriously, which builds trust with homeowners and property managers. The Richardson 112's structured poly-foam front panel produces sharp embroidery results on company names, phone numbers, and logos, keeping your brand looking professional throughout the hat's lifespan even through daily field use.
For HVAC technicians specifically, the breathable mesh back is a practical advantage during work in hot attics, mechanical rooms, and outdoor condenser units where heat builds up quickly. The snapback closure fits most adult head sizes without requiring multiple SKUs, which simplifies ordering for trades companies that hire technicians of varying sizes. One blank, one size, consistent results across your entire field team — that's the operational efficiency that makes the 112 the default choice for trades uniform programs.
For trades companies ordering Richardson hats for technician uniforms, the 112's color range is a significant advantage. Richardson offers the 112 in an extensive palette that covers every trades brand identity — from classic black and navy for professional service companies to two-tone combinations that set your crew apart from competitors in the same service area.

How to Choose the Best Richardson 112 for Your Trades Company
Breathability for Field Work Environments
HVAC technicians working in attics during summer can face temperatures well above 100°F. The Richardson 112's mesh back panels provide continuous airflow that helps regulate head temperature in these environments. For technicians working in the most extreme heat conditions, the Richardson 355 Laser Perf adds laser-perforated performance fabric for maximum ventilation. Plumbers working in crawl spaces and electricians working in tight mechanical areas also benefit from the 112's breathable construction during physically demanding work.
Color Selection for Trades Uniform Programs
Black, navy, and grey are the most common choices for trades technician hats — professional colors that look sharp in client homes and commercial properties. For companies with specific brand colors, Richardson's extensive palette makes it easy to match precisely. Two-tone colorways with a dark front panel and a contrasting mesh back are popular with trades companies that want a distinctive look that sets their crew apart from competitors in the same service area.
Sizing for Trades Technician Teams
The standard Richardson 112 snapback fits most adult head sizes, making it the practical choice for trades companies where you need one hat to fit a diverse team. For technicians who need extended sizing, the Richardson 112 XL provides additional circumference while maintaining the same color availability. Running both the standard 112 and the 112 XL in the same color keeps your team looking uniform across all sizes.
Decoration for Trades Company Branding
Most trades companies order Richardson 112 hats as blanks and have them embroidered with their company name, logo, phone number, and license number. The 112's poly-foam front panel produces clean embroidery results that hold up through daily field use — your branding stays sharp through a full service season without fading or distorting. For trades companies that want a faster turnaround on smaller orders, heat transfer is also compatible with the 112's front panel.
