AS Colour Frame Nylon Cap | 1162

Description

The AS Colour Frame Nylon Cap is built from recycled nylon — a lightweight, water-resistant shell that sits comfortably in outdoor and lifestyle contexts where cotton caps fall short. The low-profile 5-panel construction gives it a cleaner silhouette than standard truckers, and the unstructured crown drapes naturally without looking sloppy. This is the cap brands reach for when they want sustainability credentials without sacrificing the aesthetic.

Who Orders It

Surf and outdoor brands building eco-forward collections. Breweries and taprooms wanting a cap that works on the patio and at the beach. Event production teams outfitting staff for festivals and outdoor activations. Environmental nonprofits and conservation programs where the recycled material aligns with the mission. Hospitality groups looking for lightweight headwear that travels well. Startups launching with sustainability as a core brand value.

Decoration

Embroidery is the primary method here — the nylon shell holds stitching cleanly up to moderate density designs. Keep embroidery to the front panels where the material lays flattest. The recycled nylon surface isn’t ideal for screen printing; heat transfer or embroidery will give you better results. Patch applications work well on the low-profile crown. For large-scale orders, run a test piece to confirm thread tension on your specific design.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Embroidery is your best option on recycled nylon. The material holds stitching well at moderate densities. Heat transfer patches also work cleanly. Screen printing isn’t recommended — the nylon surface doesn’t absorb ink the same way cotton does.

Is this good for outdoor event staff?
Yes. The lightweight nylon is water-resistant and breathes better than structured foam caps in warm weather. The low-profile fit stays put without looking bulky. Solid choice for festivals, outdoor markets, and activations.

How does the sizing run?
One size fits most. The sliding buckle closure provides a wide adjustment range that accommodates most head sizes comfortably.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated headwear programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
