AS Colour Surf Cap | 1114

Description

The AS Colour Surf Cap is the low-profile, unstructured option for programs that want headwear with a softer hand and relaxed silhouette. Recycled cotton construction gives it an environmental story worth telling, while the lightweight build makes it comfortable for all-day wear at outdoor events, behind the bar, or on the water. This is the cap that looks better broken in.

Who Orders It

Breweries and taprooms building staff and retail merch. Surf and outdoor lifestyle brands that need headwear matching their environmental positioning. Event organizers running beach cleanups, outdoor festivals, and community programs. Coffee roasters and hospitality groups outfitting front-of-house teams. Nonprofits with sustainability-focused missions. Creative studios and agencies building low-key branded swag that people actually wear off the clock.

Decoration

The unstructured crown sits flat for embroidery but requires stabilizer backing to prevent puckering — standard practice for soft-crown caps. Front panel embroidery up to 8,000 stitches works cleanly. Screen printing is possible on the crown with proper technique, though embroidery remains the preferred method for longevity and appearance on this fabric weight. The recycled cotton takes thread color well with minimal show-through on lighter colorways.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this cap?
Embroidery is the go-to. The unstructured crown needs backing for clean results, but holds designs well up to about 8,000 stitches. Screen printing works but embroidery gives you better durability and a cleaner look on the soft fabric.

Is this good for outdoor event giveaways?
Yes — the lightweight construction and relaxed fit make it comfortable for extended wear in warm weather. The recycled cotton story also plays well for environmentally-conscious event programs and nonprofit fundraisers.

How does the sizing run?
One size fits most with an adjustable back closure. The low-profile, unstructured build conforms to head shape rather than sitting rigid, so fit is forgiving across a range of sizes.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated headwear programs start at 24–48 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
