Richardson 112 vs. Port Authority C112: Which Hat Is Best for Your Crew?
If you’re in construction, auto repair, or any other hands-on trade, you know the importance of looking professional while staying practical. Hats are one of the easiest ways to get your team looking sharp and representing your brand everywhere they go.
At Sure Shot Screen Printing, we get a lot of requests for the Richardson 112 — and for good reason. It’s a popular hat with a snug fit and clean look. But here’s the catch:
- You need to order them by the case (12 or more)
- They’re a little pricier
- The rigid front panel makes embroidery trickier (and more expensive)
That’s why we also recommend the Port Authority C112. Here’s why small businesses love them:
- Same great style and fit (even for big heads — trust us)
- Embroider super clean
- No case minimums — order just a few if you want
- Tons of color options
- Lower price point
So, which one should you choose?
- Richardson 112: Best for retail brands or if you’re ready to order in bulk.
- Port Authority C112: Perfect for trades crews, mechanics, and small businesses that want great hats without the hassle.
At the end of the day, the best hat is the one that works for your team’s needs and your budget. And we’ll make sure they’re branded to perfection.
