Full-front embroidery 12×6 cm starting 2 cm from the visor, on the sides 10×6 cm, on the back 8×3.5 cm and on the closure 3×1 cm.

It is the right choice for those seeking a cap with a warm, distinctive character, to personalise with embroidery or patches in seven earth tones (from Burgundy to Olive to Stone). It is not the right product for those who need to print flat, detailed multicolour artwork: on this fabric printing is not recommended, and for complex logos a smooth-twill model is clearly preferable.
