AS Colour Gauge Beanie | 1125

Description

The AS Colour Gauge Beanie is the kind of blank that makes branded headwear programs feel intentional rather than afterthought. Recycled cotton construction gives it environmental credibility without sacrificing the hand-feel your customers expect — substantial enough to hold its shape through a full season of wear, soft enough that people actually reach for it on cold mornings.

Who Orders It

Breweries and taprooms building winter merch drops. Outdoor and adventure brands that need headwear aligned with their sustainability positioning. Coffee roasters and specialty food brands adding cold-weather pieces to retail shelves. Nonprofits running fundraiser programs where the product needs to feel like a real purchase, not a donation receipt. Ski and snowboard programs, surf brands with mountain crossover, and corporate teams doing holiday gifts that won’t end up in a drawer.

Decoration

The structured knit holds embroidery cleanly — standard placement on the front cuff works well up to 10,000 stitches without distortion. The recycled cotton blend accepts thread color accurately with minimal show-through on lighter colorways. For leather patch applications, the fabric weight provides a stable base. Heat transfer vinyl is possible but embroidery remains the preferred method for longevity and premium appearance on knit headwear.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this beanie?
Embroidery is the standard and works cleanly on the Gauge Beanie. The structured knit holds detail well, and front-cuff placement is the most popular location. Leather patches also work if your brand aesthetic calls for it.

Is this good for seasonal merch drops?
Yes — this is exactly what it’s built for. The recycled content gives you a sustainability story, the weight makes it functional for actual cold weather, and the construction holds up as a retail-quality piece rather than throwaway promo.

How does the sizing run?
One size fits most. The knit has enough stretch to accommodate a range of head sizes comfortably without looking oversized or losing shape.
