Cordy-S

We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.
In the baseball cap segment, the Cordy-S stands out for its fabric: corduroy in 100% recycled polyester, GRS-certified, with a ribbed texture that gives the cap a warm, tactile character far from the smooth twill of classic models. The metal buckle with metal hole, the tear-away label and the recycled polyester sweatband complete a refined product, with a declared carbon footprint of -21% CO2eq versus the category reference.
The ribbed surface has a direct consequence for personalisation: the raised wales of the corduroy interrupt flat-contact printing techniques (screen printing, transfer, sublimation), which struggle to lay the ink evenly across the fabric's grooves. Embroidery, on the contrary, is the technique of choice: the stitches anchor into the ribbed weave with a tactile effect consistent with the fabric, on the front (12×6 cm), the sides (10×6 cm) and the back. Applied patches also work well because they sit on top of the surface.
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.

Streetwear brand
Corduroy is a fabric much appreciated in contemporary streetwear for its tactile texture and vintage mood. The seven earth tones (Burgundy, Olive, Stone) align with the sector's palettes. Embroidery and patches anchor well. An excellent base for streetwear capsules with a warm, refined character.
Creator / Influencer merch
The corduroy gives the creator's merch a warm, distinctive character, with a tactile texture. The logo embroidery anchors well into the weave and patches are a good alternative for multicolour logos. Printing flat complex artwork is however not recommended. A good base for merch with a vintage, refined mood.
