AS Colour 1160 Frame Cap – Premium Structured Cap

Description

The AS Colour 1160 Frame Cap is a structured 6-panel cotton cap designed for branded apparel, company uniforms and merchandise programs where the headwear needs to feel like part of the brand—not an afterthought. Its structured crown creates a more defined silhouette than an unstructured cap, while the adjustable closure provides flexible sizing for teams and merchandise programs.

If you’re comparing AS Colour caps, the Frame Cap 1160 is worth considering when you want a structured, classic cap shape with a clean surface for a custom logo.

Why Choose the AS Colour 1160 Frame Cap?

The biggest reason to choose the 1160 is its structured 6-panel construction. It maintains a more defined shape than a low-profile, unstructured cap and gives branded programs a polished, consistent appearance.

The cotton construction also gives the cap a more natural, casual appearance than many performance or synthetic styles, making it particularly useful for lifestyle brands, hospitality, retail merchandise and employee apparel.

The BFI Take

Choose the 1160 when you want your cap to have some structure.

I’d consider it for breweries, restaurants, hospitality teams, creative companies, retail merchandise and lifestyle brands that want a traditional cap silhouette rather than a soft, unstructured look.

If you prefer a lower-profile, unstructured cap, compare it with the AS Colour 1114 Surf Cap. That’s a meaningful choice to make before worrying about logo placement: structured vs. unstructured changes the overall look of the finished cap.

Best Uses

The AS Colour Frame Cap works particularly well for:

• Company and employee apparel
• Breweries, restaurants and hospitality
• Retail merchandise
• Creative and lifestyle brands
• Event teams
• Branded merchandise programs
• Outdoor and casual workwear

Decoration

Embroidery is a natural decoration option for the AS Colour 1160 Frame Cap. The structured front provides a defined area for logos, lettering and other embroidered artwork.

That doesn’t mean every logo should automatically be embroidered the same way. Fine detail, small text, gradients and complicated artwork can affect how a design translates to thread.

Breaking Free Industries can review your artwork and recommend the appropriate decoration approach, size and placement for the cap.

AS Colour 1160 vs. 1114: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference is structure and silhouette.

The AS Colour 1114 Surf Cap is the better option to consider when you want a lower-profile, unstructured appearance.

Neither is automatically the better cap. The right choice depends on the look you want for your brand, team or merchandise.
