Custom 5 Panel Hats

Although 5-panel hats can be any hat that does not have a seam down the front crown, the 5 panel has also become synonymous with camper style hats. The 5-panel hat has become a popular ballcap style due to its comfortable, streamlined design and versatility. Inspired by hunting hats, it features a shallow crown and an adjustable strap at the back and can come in a range of materials, patterns, and colors. Also referred to as 5-panel camper hats, skaters have favored this hat style for some time. Today, the 5-panel hat continues to be a staple in streetwear fashion culture.

The primary difference is in their construction – while a 5-panel hat has five sections of fabric stitched together to form its crown, a 6 panel has six. Remember that there are two types of 5-panel hats – the kind that looks very similar to the 6-panel hat but just missing the seam down the middle of the crown, and the 5-panel camper hats which look totally unique, even missing the traditional button on top of the crown.

If you’re looking to give your 5-panel hats an extra special touch, why not add a custom embroidered design or logo? Embroidery allows for endless possibilities and can be done on various areas of the hat. From designs ranging from 2″ high by 3″ wide and smaller on the front panel to subtle logos on either side panel, customized embroidery gives your headwear that one-of-a-kind look. Just make sure whoever is doing it knows what they are doing – working with experienced professionals like Consolidated Ink will ensure top-quality results every time.

Yes. 5 panel golf hats – usually a rope-front style with a flat or slightly curved bill – are one of the most popular versions of this hat we embroider. The seamless front crown gives your logo a clean, uninterrupted canvas, which is exactly why golf brands and tournaments favor this style. We can source rope-brim 5 panels from Richardson, Yupoong, and other brands and embroider your event or club logo front and center.

Embroidery is the go-to for 5 panel hats because the solid front crown handles larger stitch areas than a seamed 6 panel. Custom patches – embroidered, woven, leather, or PVC – are the other favorite, especially on 5 panel trucker styles where a big patch can span the full front. If you’re not sure which fits your logo, send us the artwork and we’ll tell you what will look best.

Richardson and Yupoong (YP Classics) lead the category. Richardson’s Macleay 217 and Troutdale 930 are standouts for unstructured and structured 5 panel looks, while Yupoong’s 6502 and 7005 jockey cap are streetwear staples. For 5 panel truckers, the Yupoong 6006 and retro 6506 are the classics. We source all of them, so you can match the style to your brand.

Our minimum is 24 hats per design. That makes 5 panels practical for small teams, events, and test runs before you commit to a bigger order. Bulk orders get tiered discounts, so per-hat pricing drops as quantity goes up.

It depends on the hat brand, quantity, and decoration method you choose. Whether you have a few items to customize or require thousands, contact us for exact pricing on your order – when you select Consolidated Ink, you’re sure to be 100% satisfied with your custom order.

5-panel hats are a great accessory to have. With the brim facing forwards you can get that classic look, while turning it backwards adds a relaxed streetwear vibe. You’ll find it pairs perfectly with whatever outfit you put together – from t-shirts and jeans to hoodies, joggers and sneakers – making this one versatile piece of headgear.

5-panel caps are designed to fit any head shape, so you can enjoy perfect comfort and stylish good looks no matter where you go. There is always a chance your head is too big or too small for a 5 panel hat, but that is why these hats are considered OSFM or One Size Fits Most. We always recommend ordering a blank sample if you have had trouble fitting into hats in the past.
