The relaxed fit
A relaxed, unstructured, low-profile cap: soft cotton twill, a slightly curved brim and an adjustable strap. Dad hats are the casual, worn-in cap people actually wear every day.
Unstructured
There is no stiff backing in the front panels, so the crown is soft and collapses when you set it down. It packs into a bag without creasing.
Dad hat vs baseball cap
A regular cap is structured with a stiff front. A dad hat is unstructured, so the crown is soft and relaxed. More comfortable, and it packs without creasing.
The styles
Classic twill (C914), New Era 9TWENTY fit (NE201), Nike Legacy91 (NKFB6449), Richardson dad-style (326 / 220 / 225) and garment-washed (CP78 / CP77).
Embroidery
Embroidery is the default. Small, subtle embroidery suits the soft front panel of a dad hat best; a compact logo or a short line of text sits cleanly without fighting the relaxed crown.
Who orders dad hats
Streetwear and DTC drops, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques and personal gifts.
Small drops of 12–24 hats need a fast turnaround for a drop date, and a single personalized gift is a one-piece order a local shop will usually refuse or overcharge for. Custom dad hats online start at one.

Same thing as a dad hat. "Unstructured" means there's no stiff backing in the front panels, so the crown is soft and relaxed.
Yes. Embroidery is the default. Dad hats suit small, subtle embroidery better than any other cap.

Yes. We accept AI files — send us your AI-generated artwork and we will clean it up free and set it up for embroidery. There is no setup charge for AI artwork, and we will show you a proof before anything is stitched.
For a simple design, we often email your proof within a couple of hours during business hours. For a detailed or complex design, we may take extra time to carefully recreate your artwork — we want the proof to be right before anything is stitched. Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof.
