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.

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.
