In the outdoor and movement baseball cap segment, the Nomad-S solves a practical problem that -only models do not address: the wind. The rear elastic drawcord with recycled toggle locks the cap in place without squeezing, allowing precise adjustment to head circumference even during intense physical activity. A construction solution that brings it closer to a technical hiking hat than to a standard promotional baseball cap.

Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.
What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique.
The unstructured 6-panel crown supports embroidery up to 12×6 cm on the front, with a recommended start 2 cm from the visor edge. The absence of buckram requires a stabilising backing to ensure correct tension during embroidery. Sides embroiderable up to 10×6 cm — a wide area for an unstructured model. Back 8×3.5 cm. The soft structure is not compatible with 3D puff embroidery, which requires a structured panel and buckram.
Woven or embroidered patches applied with perimeter stitching on the front or side panels. A patch is recommended over direct printing because it covers the front seam, guaranteeing a continuous graphic area. Heat sealing is less suitable on light microfibre: prefer perimeter stitching. Recommended size: max 6 cm.
