02 — Manifesto

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.

01
Embroidery· Eccellente
88%
It is the technique of choice for this fabric: the stitches anchor into the ribbed corduroy weave with a tactile effect consistent with the surface. 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. On corduroy a stabilising backing is advisable to keep the stitches in shape over the wales.
Max area 12x6
02
Patch — Woven / PVC / Faux leather· Eccellente
80%
Patches work well because they sit on top of the ribbed surface without having to follow its grooves. Application by stitching (preferable on corduroy) or heat-sealing with a suitable press. Suited to the front and sides, with embroidered, woven or rubber patches. The patch is a good alternative to embroidery for multicolour logos on this fabric.
03
DTF — Direct to Film· Limitato
44%
Read the technical analysis
DTF transfer is not recommended on corduroy: the film struggles to adhere evenly over the raised wales, with a risk of detachment along the fabric's grooves. Usable only for small compact logos on the most even areas possible, but for this fabric embroidery is the correct choice for durability and aesthetic result.
Max area 8x5
04
Screen printing· Limitato
42%
Read the technical analysis
The ribbed corduroy surface is not recommended for screen printing: the raised wales interrupt the frame's flat contact, the ink deposits unevenly across the grooves and the result is not crisp. Usable only for very simple, large artwork, but for this fabric embroidery or patches are clearly preferable.
Max area 10x6Max colors 2
05
Sublimation· Limitato
40%
Read the technical analysis
The polyester fibre takes sublimation in theory, but the ribbed corduroy texture compromises the result: the dyes reach the crests and grooves differently, giving an uneven effect. Several available colours are also dark (Black, Navy, Brown, Burgundy) and on dark grounds sublimation does not work. A technique poorly suited to this model.
Max area 8x5
06
DTG — Direct to Garment· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
DTG direct printing is not compatible: it is optimised for cotton, gives poor results on polyester and cannot apply evenly over the corduroy's raised ribbed surface. To personalise this model use embroidery, the technique of choice for corduroy, or applied patches.
