Wholesale Hats: Trucker, Dad, Snapback, Flat Bill, Performance and Beanie Blanks for Decorators
This collection is the full range of blank headwear that Joe's USA carries from Richardson, Otto, Legacy, Flexfit, YP Classics, Imperial, 47 Brand, Valucap, Infinity Her, Sportsman, LOCALE, Classic Caps, Kati, Atlantis Headwear and its own Joe's USA line. The styles run from structured trucker caps such as the Richardson 112 and the foam-front Otto 39-165, to unstructured dad hats such as the Legacy EZA and Otto 18-202, stretch-fit caps such as the Flexfit 6277, flat bills such as the YP Classics 6006, rope and performance caps such as the Legacy CADDY and Imperial 5054, and cuffed knit beanies such as the Richardson 130 and Sportsman SP08.
Every style is sold blank for embroidery, patches, screen printing, heat transfer or DTF, depending on the front fabric, and each product page lists its own colors and sizing. Use the comparisons below to narrow by cap type, brand, fabric and program. For a focused view of one style, the Wholesale Trucker Hats, Wholesale Dad Hats, Wholesale Foam Trucker Hats and Wholesale Flat Bill Trucker Hats pages each gather a single cap type, and Beanies covers knit headwear. The wider range is also browsable at Caps and Hats and Joes USA Hats and Caps.
Quick Answer: Which Hat Style Fits the Job
For a logo-heavy embroidery program on a firm front, start with the Richardson 112, the Otto 39-165 or the Joes USA High Profile Foam Trucker. For a relaxed, low-profile look, open a dad hat such as the Legacy EZA, Valucap VC300A, Otto 18-772 or Classic Caps USA200. For a stretch fit sized by head rather than by strap, choose the Flexfit 6277 or Flexfit 180, and for a mesh back with an elastic comfort band plus snapback, the Flexfit 110M. For a flat bill, look at the YP Classics 6006, LOCALE CAMPER and Richardson 168P. For golf and resort programs, the Richardson 355, Imperial 5054 and Legacy CADDY all carry rope detail and performance fabric. For camo, the Richardson 112PFP, Richardson 168P and Kati LCB08 cover caps and beanies. For cold-weather programs, the knit beanies in the table further down start with the Richardson 146R and Atlantis Headwear HOLLY.

Two details cut across every type. Crown structure sets how a cap holds its shape: a structured crown such as the Valucap 8869 keeps its front firm for a logo, while an unstructured crown such as the 47 Brand 4700 drapes softly. Panel count sets how the front reads: a five-panel crown such as the Otto 31-069 has a seamless front panel, and a six-panel crown has a center seam.

A few examples show how the families differ. The Otto 31-069 page lists a 65% polyester / 35% cotton twill with a seamless foam front panel and lining. The Legacy HTA page lists a 7.5 oz 100% cotton twill. The Flexfit 6277 page lists a 63% polyester / 34% cotton / 3% PU spandex twill, and the Imperial X210P page lists 100% recycled polyester. Always confirm the exact blend on the page of the color you plan to buy, because several pages note color-specific differences.

Camo, Printed and Outdoor Styles
The outdoor styles here combine printed fronts with mesh backs and licensed colorways. The Richardson 112PFP page lists a structured mid-profile five-panel crown with 40+ printed camo and pattern options, and the Richardson 168P page lists a seven-panel crown with a seamless printed camo front and Mossy Oak and Realtree patterns. The Kati LCB08 brings the same licensed camo to a beanie, and the Sportsman SP1450 lists duck camo among its chino twill fronts with a polyester back panel. For the full set see Wholesale Camouflage, Camo Hats, Kati Licensed Camo Caps and Beanies, Richardson 112PFP Trucker Caps and Kati.
Decoration Notes
Front fabric guides the decoration method. The product pages describe structured front panels as a stable embroidery surface, as on the Joes USA Distressed Military Hat, and describe foam fronts as a smooth surface that accepts ink cleanly, as on the Joes USA High Profile Foam Trucker. The Otto 39-165 Youth page lists embroidery, screen print, heat transfer and DTF. Knit beanies take embroidery and sewn patches on the cuff, as the Richardson beanie pages note. Unstructured dad hats such as the Legacy EZA and Classic Caps USA200 suit a smaller, softer logo that follows the crown. For any style, test the artwork on the exact color and fabric before running a full program.

Wholesale Hats FAQs
What are wholesale hats?
Wholesale hats are blank caps and beanies sold plain, ready for a decorator to add embroidery, patches, screen printing, heat transfer or DTF. This collection gathers the blank headwear from Richardson, Otto, Legacy, Flexfit, YP Classics, Imperial, 47 Brand, Valucap, Infinity Her, Sportsman, LOCALE, Classic Caps, Kati, Atlantis Headwear and Joe's USA in one place.
What is the difference between a trucker cap, a snapback and a dad hat?
A trucker cap has a mesh back, a snapback has an adjustable plastic snap closure, and a dad hat has an unstructured low-profile crown with a relaxed fit. The categories overlap: the Richardson 112 is a trucker with a snapback, the Otto 31-069 is a structured snapback, and the Legacy EZA is a dad hat.
What does structured versus unstructured mean?
A structured crown keeps its shape and presents a firm front, as on the Valucap 8869 and Otto 39-165. An unstructured crown drapes softly and sits closer to the head, as on the 47 Brand 4700 and Legacy EZA. Structured crowns are the usual choice for large logos, and unstructured crowns suit a relaxed look.
What is a foam trucker hat?
A foam trucker has a foam-backed front panel that keeps a flat, firm surface for decoration, paired with a mesh back. The Otto 39-165 page lists a high-crown five-panel build with a polyester foam front and lining, and the Joes USA High Profile Foam Trucker page describes a high-profile five-panel crown. See Wholesale Foam Trucker Hats and Otto Cap Foam Trucker Hats for the full set.
What do five-, six- and seven-panel crowns mean?
Panel count is how many fabric sections form the crown. A five-panel crown such as the Otto 31-069 has a seamless front panel, a six-panel crown such as the Joes USA JOE112 has a center seam, and a seven-panel crown such as the Richardson 168P pairs a flat bill with a seamless printed front. Panel count changes where a logo can sit.
Which caps use a stretch fit instead of a snapback?
The Flexfit 6277 lists S/M, L/XL and XL/2XL stretch-fit sizing, and the Flexfit 180 is a closed-back stretch cap with seamless bonded front panels in S/M and L/XL. The Flexfit 110M is a mesh back style with an elastic comfort band plus a snapback. See Flexfit and Flexfit 110 Collection for more.
Which hats are performance or moisture-wicking caps?
The Imperial X210P lists 100% recycled polyester with moisture-wicking performance, the Legacy CADDY lists 97% recycled polyester and 3% spandex, and the Richardson 355 lists laser-perforated side panels on a moisture-wicking performance fabric. The Sportsman SP1450 lists a COOLMAX moisture-management sweatband. See Joes USA Golf Hats for golf-oriented headwear.
Which beanies does the collection include?
Beanies include Richardson cuffed acrylic knits such as the Richardson 130, Richardson 141R, Richardson 143R and Richardson 146R, the Sportsman SP08 from Sportsman, the Atlantis Headwear HOLLY and Atlantis Headwear RIO from Atlantis Headwear, the LOCALE GRNDSR from LOCALE, the Kati LCB08 licensed camo beanie and the Joes USA Knit Beanie. Browse Beanies and Richardson Beanies for the full set.
Which hats come in camo?
The Richardson 112PFP lists 40+ printed camo and pattern options, the Richardson 168P lists a seamless printed camo front, the Kati LCB08 lists licensed camo beanie colorways, and the Sportsman SP1450 lists duck camo among its front options. Open Wholesale Camouflage and Camo Hats for camo caps and beanies together.
Are there women's and youth hats?
Yes. The Infinity Her CHARLIE is a women's structured six-panel trucker with a concealed ponytail opening, the Imperial L210P is a small-fit women's version of the Imperial Original, and the Otto 39-165 Youth is a youth-sized foam trucker. See Infinity Her and Kids and Youth Caps.
Which caps are made in the USA?
The Classic Caps USA100 trucker and the Classic Caps USA200 dad hat from Classic Caps state on their pages that they are made in the USA with USA and imported components. Confirm the details on the page of the color you plan to buy.
How are the Richardson caps organized?
Richardson appears across this collection in several builds, from the Richardson 112 and the printed Richardson 112PFP to the seven-panel Richardson 168P, the Richardson 258 rope cap, the full-fabric Richardson 323FPC and the laser-perf Richardson 355. See The Richardson 112, Richardson 115 Low Profile Trucker Caps, Richardson 168 7-Panel Trucker Caps, Richardson 256 Umpqua Snapback Caps and Richardson Caps.
Can I decorate these hats with patches, DTF or heat transfer?
Decoration methods depend on the front fabric. The product pages list embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer and DTF on styles such as the Otto 39-165 Youth, and sewn patches on the cuff of the Richardson beanies. Test artwork on the exact color and fabric first.
How do I choose between brands?
Start from the cap type in the Hat Types Compared table, then compare the brand lines. Richardson and Otto offer structured trucker and snapback builds, Legacy and Valucap add washed and twill styles, Flexfit offers stretch fit, and Imperial offers performance fabrics. The brand pages Richardson, Otto Cap, Legacy, Flexfit and Valucap show each line in full.
Where can I see more by style?
Style-specific pages gather one cap type at a time: Wholesale Trucker Hats, Wholesale Dad Hats, Wholesale Foam Trucker Hats, Wholesale Flat Bill Trucker Hats and Beanies. Brand pages such as Cap America, Pacific Headwear, Pit Bull, Otto Cap Trucker Hats and Legacy Trucker Hats add more styles from individual makers.
