Fraser
- GOTS
The unstructured, lived-in baseball cap — soft from day one thanks to garment washing. GOTS certified: 100% organic cotton, the most complete textile certification for material, production and social rights. Ideal for flat front embroidery (not 3D puff: the soft panel can't support it). Made for lifestyle, streetwear and sustainability-minded brands — 11 solid shades from white to cardinal red. One size.

In the promotional baseball cap segment, the Fraser holds a precise position: it's the model with a lived-in aesthetic, the opposite of the classic. The soft front panel follows the head instead of standing upright, and garment washing softens the cotton and gives it that gently worn effect new caps usually lack. It's the "dad hat" profile in its most refined form, built around one of the most complete textile certifications in the catalog.

It's the certification that defines the product, and that's the difference that matters: the Fraser is 100% organic cotton, the standard that covers material, production and social rights across the supply chain in a single verification. No other cap in this group reaches an EcoScore of 6.0. On customization, the unstructured nature has a direct consequence: flat front up to 12×6 cm is perfect, but isn't supported — the raised foam needs a rigid front that isn't here. The also handles patches and transfers well.
Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.
What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique.
The unstructured front panel takes flat embroidery up to 12×6 cm well: the cotton twill holds the stitches without trouble and garment washing doesn't compromise their hold. Important: 3D puff embroidery is NOT supported, because the raised effect needs a rigid front with a stable base under the foam, which an unstructured cap lacks. Recommended start 2 cm from the visor edge. Sides up to 10×6 cm, back up to 8×3.5 cm.
Woven, PVC or eco-leather patches can be applied to the unstructured front by heat sealing, reinforceable with a perimeter stitch. On a soft panel the patch tends to follow the front's curvature: for large rigid patches consider a backing. Good aesthetic match with the worn-in look of garment washing.

It isn't the right product for those after a stiff structured front, the 3D puff effect or the active breathability of : the positioning is the unstructured, soft, sustainable baseball cap.

The garment-washed unstructured baseball cap is one of the reference formats of contemporary streetwear: low profile, soft, lived-in. GOTS certification adds sustainable value increasingly sought by the sector's audience. The 11 shades cover understated, refined palettes.
For creators and independent brands the unstructured dad hat is a lifestyle-merchandise classic. The worn-in effect makes it feel like a garment rather than a gadget, and GOTS organic cotton is a strong narrative lever for environmentally conscious communities.
With GOTS certification — the most complete for a textile product — and a premium lived-in aesthetic, the Fraser is the promotional baseball cap for brands wanting to communicate sustainability verifiably. The EcoScore of 6.0 clearly sets it apart from the GRS tier and is the product's narrative strength.
GOTS certification, which also covers social rights across the supply chain, fits the values of associations and NGOs perfectly. Durable front embroidery and one size make it practical for volunteer uniforms, with a solid sustainability story to tell.
The lived-in unstructured dad hat is highly sought in music merchandise, especially for indie, alternative and singer-songwriter genres, where the soft profile and authentic aesthetic are preferred to the stiff sports cap. Front embroidery is the most durable technique for a logo or band name.
The lived-in unstructured baseball cap fits festival and streetwear aesthetics perfectly. Garment washing gives an authentic, non-flashy look, and warm shades like stone, khaki and olive stand out from standard promotional merchandise. Flat embroidery and DTF cover graphic needs.
In a welcome kit the Fraser communicates care and values: GOTS organic cotton, a premium soft effect, universal fit. It's a cap employees gladly wear outside work too, thanks to the lifestyle aesthetic, boosting brand visibility.

Declared certifications.
And what they guarantee.
We list only third-party certifications declared by the manufacturer: some concern the environment, others the safety of substances or working conditions.
The most comprehensive certification that exists for textiles. GOTS verifies that the fibre is organic and that the entire production chain — from spinning to dyeing to sewing — meets precise chemical, environmental and social criteria: no harmful substances, no child labour, controlled wastewater treatment. It does not measure the product's CO₂ impact, but it covers everything else. Every certified facility is audited annually by an accredited independent body. The certificate for this product can be verified on the public GOTS database.
