Hat analysis

5 panel
Is one single piece of fabric that is folded and stitched at the top, the front seam stops about 7.5cm from the top button making a large front panel area which is great for large logos or smaller intricate prints or embroideries as there is no seam to interfere with your logo.

6 panel
Is two pieces of fabric that are stitched together forming a seam that runs from the top button down the center of the panel to the visor essentially making two front panels, this is the most common silhouette we produce.

7 panel
The front section of the crown is divided into three panels, two triangles on the very top and a larger rectangle style shape on the front, great for every style of decoration we offer.

Camp
Camp hats are a smaller silhouette that fit closer to the head normally they are unstructured and use a small patch or small embroidery for decoration.
Brims

Flat brim
A completely flat brim that is best suited to deep fitting high crown styles.

Curved brim
The classic full curve best suited to shallow fitting low crown styles.

Semi curved brim
Just a slight curve that works well for all fits and styles.

Circular brims
Circular brims have a more rounded and wide shape generally used on Deep fitting hat styles.

Square brims
Square brims are more streamlined a little shorter and not as wide making these great for mid or shallow fitting styles.

Sandwich brim
Is when a different color fabric is used in between the top visor and the under visor material.

Flip visor
Is when the top visor section of the hat is sewn so the seam is on top of the visor rather than the on the bottom making it seem like the visor is attached upside down.
Structure

Single buckram
Offered in curve and flat brim, buckram is a fabric that when heated to high temperatures it fuses to the back of the fabric of the front panels and gives your hat its shape.

Double buckram
Offered in flat brims only this is a double layer of buckram that when heated to high temperatures it fuses to the back of the fabric of the front panels and gives your hat its shape makes the front panel extremely stiff.

Soft buckram
Is a thin layer of buckram that is softer than single buckram but a little stiffer than gluing mesh.

Foam
Front panels can be made from a thick foam which makes the hat soft but still have some structure.

Stay front net
Is a mesh net that is sewn in behind the front panels to help hold the front panel up.

Gluing mesh
Is a thin layer of fabric like buckram that is fused to the back of the panels to only give a very light structure.

Unstructured
This is just the fabric of the front panels which gives a relaxed look.
