When it comes to showing off your company, school, or group pride, a custom hat is a top notch accessory. Custom Ink has hat styles to customize for your sports teams, clubs, or to create your own for a company giveaway. Below you’ll find our custom hats style guide to help you find the perfect hat for your custom design.

There are so many hats to help you show off your personal style–like trucker, vintage, classic baseball caps, or distressed hats. If you’re looking for name brands, we’re proud to offer favorites like Under Armour and Carhartt.

Trucker hats might have boomed in the early 2000s, but they’re still a favorite of ours today. A trucker hat has a taller front section and a mesh back with a snap closure. They’re great for breathability and for fitting everyone.

Our Yupoong Solid Classic Trucker Hat is stylish but affordable, and has a flat bill. For something a bit more unique, the Rectangle Printed Patch Hat ‑ Trucker has a patch to help your logo stand out, contrast stitching, and even a velcro strap! If a worn look is more your style, The Sportsman Vintage Trucker Hat offers slightly washed colors, so it looks like you’ve been wearing it for years! It’s also super soft and breathable. The Adams Pigment Dyed Distressed Trucker Hat also has a vintage look. It has a distressed torn visor and great color options–we love the Nautical Red!

If you like a foam style, the Valucap Foam/Mesh Trucker Hat is perfect for groups and has a pre-curved visor with braid detailing. Or for a pop of color, the Mega Cap Contrast Stitch Trucker Hat has fresh colors that stand out. It also has really cool contrasting under the visor and a velcro closure. Looking for something for your school or event? The Sportsman Dirty‑Washed Trucker Hat has a distressed, unstructured look that’s on trend with a brass buckle closure. If you love top brands, the Carhartt Rugged Professional Trucker Hat has stretch technology and a sweat-fighting band–talk about keeping it cool!
