- Richardson 112 – Classic Trucker. Mid-profile, structured front. Sits up tall and holds its shape. The most popular choice and the safest bet for most head sizes.
- Richardson 115 – Low Profile Trucker. Slightly lower crown than the 112. Still structured, but flatter and more relaxed.
- Richardson 169 – Wide Front. 7-panel with a wide, flat front panel. Best for larger or more detailed patches — the extra surface area makes the design pop.
- Legacy Old Favorite – Relaxed Fit. Soft, unstructured front with a broken-in feel straight out of the box. If you hate stiff hats, this is your pick.
Adjustable strap
- Richardson 326 – Peached Twill Dad Hat. Low-profile 6-panel in ultra-soft peached cotton with a precurved bill. No stiffener at all — it slouches in and stays comfortable. The off-duty option.
- Legacy Relaxed Twill – Dad Hat. Washed twill with a curved bill and a soft crown that sits low. The most casual cap on the board.
Fitted — no strap
- Flexfit 6277 – Cotton Blend Cap. Structured six-panel, mid profile, Permacurv visor, elastic sweatband. The only cap here that is not one size — it comes in S/M and L/XL, so pick your size with the hat. If you are between sizes, go up.
Six of the seven are one size fits most — four close with a snapback, two with an adjustable strap. The Flexfit 6277 is the exception: it is fitted, so choose S/M or L/XL.
How it works
- Pick your hat and color. All seven models and every colorway we stock, in one place.
- Choose your design graphic. Your aircraft, squadron patch, tail flash, or your own artwork. The standard aircraft design is included at no extra cost — premium aircraft-specific designs are +$5.
- Choose your patch cutout shape. This is the physical shape of the leatherette patch — rectangle, oval, shield and so on. It is a separate choice from the design graphic above, and it is the step people most often mix up.
- Choose your patch color.
- Add text or extras — optional. Tail number +$2. Name or call sign on the front +$3. Rear patch available. Or leave it clean.
- We build and ship. Made to order — I email you an artwork proof first, then it arrives 10–15 business days after you approve it
You approve the artwork first. We email a digital design proof before anything gets cut. Nothing goes into production until you sign off on it.
What you get
- Laser-engraved or UV-printed leatherette patch, built from reference — not guesswork
- Designed by a C-130 crew member who has worn the gear
- Inspected before it ships. If the patch isn't right, it doesn't go out
