Richardson 112 Mockup, Specs, and Patch Size Guide
Short answer: The Richardson 112 is a six-panel, Mid Pro, structured trucker with an adjustable snapback, precurved visor, twill front, and polyester mesh back. For most leather, embroidered, or printed hat patches, start around 2.5 to 3.25 inches wide and 1.75 to 2.25 inches tall, then confirm the final footprint on a true 112 mockup before production.

| Tall shield | 2.25–2.5 × 2.25 in | Confirm crown taper near the top |
Production recommendations
- Mock up at actual size: Place the design on a model-specific front view at its physical dimensions. Generic hat mockups often make a patch look flatter and larger than it will on the cap.
- Respect the center seam: A thick leather or PVC patch can bridge the seam, but a narrow detail or tiny text should not land directly on it.
- Run one physical sample: Heat, adhesive, stitch density, and crown fixtures vary. Approve one decorated blank before a production run.
Frequently asked questions
- What size patch looks best on a Richardson 112?
- A 3 × 2 inch rectangle is a dependable starting point. Wider logos often work at 3.25 to 3.75 inches wide if they stay short enough to follow the crown.
- Is the Richardson 112 high profile?
- Richardson classifies the 112 as Mid Pro — a structured middle-height profile rather than a low-profile or full high-profile crown.
- Can a patch cross the center seam?
- Yes, but material and application method matter. Mock up the seam position, avoid placing tiny critical details on it, and sample the actual blank.
