Richardson 115 Low Pro Trucker Mockup and Patch Size Guide
Short answer: The Richardson 115 is a low-profile, casual structured, six-panel trucker with an adjustable snapback, precurved visor, twill front, and polyester mesh back. Because the crown is shorter than a 112, begin with a patch around 2.5 to 3 inches wide and 1.5 to 2 inches tall.

Production recommendations
- Reduce height first: If a design feels too large, trim height before width. The 115 has less vertical front-panel space than a Mid Pro trucker.
- Use a 115-specific mockup: Reusing a Richardson 112 preview can overstate usable crown height.
- Check both catalog sizes: If ordering multiple cap sizes, confirm the patch looks balanced on each physical blank.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Richardson 112 and 115?
- The 112 uses Richardson's Mid Pro shape. The 115 is a lower-profile casual structured trucker, so it generally needs a shorter decoration.
- What size leather patch fits a Richardson 115?
- Start near 2.75 × 1.75 inches for a rectangle and validate on the actual blank. Material thickness and heat-press fixture can change the safe footprint.
- Should I use the same mockup for a 112 and 115?
- No. The crown height and silhouette are visibly different, which affects both customer expectations and decoration placement.
