A Shopper's Guide to Our Best-Selling Hat Styles
Shopping for hats can be quite overwhelming, especially if you're getting them for other people. If you plan on ordering custom hats or caps in bulk as company uniform or event giveaway, you've come to the right place. Read on for a comprehensive guide to our best-selling hat styles.
3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Choosing a Custom Hat Style
Before getting custom hats, here are three things you need to consider:
1. Who will wear the hats?
This question is relevant whether you are buying hats in bulk or for one. Hat style preference can differ between genders and age groups, so make sure to keep that in mind when choosing a custom hat.
2. What will the hats be used for?
Hats, like other custom apparel, can be used in a wide variety of ways. Whatever your purpose is for ordering custom hats (events, giveaways, corporate wear), there's surely a specific style, material, and even hat closure type that would suit your needs and requirements. If you are ordering for a large group of people, the adjustable styles are your best bet.
3. Which hat material should you get?
Hats and caps are made from a wide range of materials such as cotton, mesh, and wool which vary in comfort and durability.
The Most Popular Hat Styles Today
Trucker Hats
The Trucker Hat is a structured cap with a mesh back. It also typically sports contrast stitching. The name originated from the 1970s when this style was favored as promotional giveaways to farmers, truck drivers, and other rural workers.

Customizing Your Hat
Embroidery is the go-to method when personalizing a custom hat, and the most common embroidered design element is a company logo. If you are going the same route, keep your logo in the center but don't go overboard with the size. The trick is to make it eye-catching enough without being overly distracting. Below are the most common logo or design placements on custom hats:
- Front
- Left Panel
- Right Panel
- Left Side (Except for flat bill caps and caps with mesh)
- Right Side (Except for flat bill caps and caps with mesh)
- Back (Except for caps with mesh like trucker caps)
For beanies, the preferred areas are usually the front or the back.
