FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom dad caps is 500 pieces per style and color combination. This allows us to set up production efficiently while keeping your unit cost competitive. Volume discounts are available for orders above 5,000 units.

Dad caps are a specific style of baseball cap defined by their unstructured crown (no internal buckram stiffener), low profile, pre-curved brim, and adjustable strapback closure. Standard baseball caps can be structured or unstructured and come in various profiles. Dad caps have a more relaxed, casual silhouette that sits closer to the head.

Yes, vintage finishes are one of the most popular options for dad caps. We offer stone-washed, pigment-dyed, garment-dyed, and distressed finishes that give your caps an authentic worn-in look right out of the box. Each technique creates a slightly different effect — our team can help you choose the right one for your brand aesthetic.

We offer multiple closure styles for dad caps: metal buckle (available in brass, nickel, or matte black), fabric strapback with metal slider, genuine leather strap with buckle, velcro closure, and self-fabric strap with D-ring. The metal buckle is the most classic dad cap closure, while leather straps add a premium touch.

Dad caps are one of the most popular choices for brand merchandise, merch drops, and limited-edition releases. Their universal appeal, comfortable fit, and clean design make them wearable for almost anyone. They work exceptionally well with minimal branding — a small embroidered logo on the front is often all you need for an elevated look.

Yes, tonal embroidery (matching thread color to fabric color) is a popular option for dad caps. It creates a subtle, premium look that's very on-trend. We can match the embroidery thread precisely to your fabric color for a seamless tonal effect, or go slightly lighter or darker for a shadow embroidery look.

Yes, we ship worldwide. We offer flexible shipping terms including DDP (delivered duty paid), FOB, and EXW. We can ship via express carriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS), sea freight, or work with your own nominated forwarder — whichever suits your timeline and budget best.
