Custom Rope Hats
Custom rope hats have a cord across the front of the bill, for a retro look that’s popular with golf clubs, breweries and surf brands. We put your logo on them with embroidery or a patch, on the Richardson 256 Umpqua and other five-panel rope caps. We’ve been making custom hats for businesses, teams and brands since 2009.

Embroidery or Patch on a Rope Hat?
Decoration Options
Every rope hat we make is decorated to your artwork. Here’s how embroidery and patches compare, and where rope hats fit. Not sure? We’ll recommend one on your free mockup.
Embroidered Rope Hats
Embroidery is the traditional choice and the fastest, at 2 to 3 weeks. It looks great on a five-panel front because there’s no seam running through your logo. Simple logos and lettering stitch cleanly; very small text is better on a woven patch.
Patch Rope Hats
A patch brings more detail and a little more presence. Woven patches hold fine detail, embroidered patches add texture, and PVC handles water. Leather on a rope hat is a favorite for breweries and outdoor brands. Patch hats take 4 to 5 weeks.
Custom Golf Rope Hats
The rope hat is the look on the course right now. It’s a good pick for club logos, tournaments and corporate outings. Performance styles like the Richardson 355 and Imperial 5054 are made to handle heat and sweat, and the seamless five-panel front gives a club crest a clean place to sit. See more on our 5-panel hats page.
What Is a Rope Hat?
A rope hat is a cap with a thin cord running across the top of the bill. The style started on old-school golf and fishing caps and came back with surf and lifestyle brands. The rope is usually a contrast color, so it works like a second accent next to your logo.
The rope sits on the bill, below the front panel, so your logo has the whole front to itself.
Richardson Custom Rope Hats
Richardson makes the widest range of rope hats we carry, from the classic 256 Umpqua to the 258 classic rope cap, the 355 performance rope cap and the 112FPR rope trucker. A Richardson 256 with embroidery is $25.45 a hat at 24 and $21.55 at 200. See all of our Richardson hats.

Get in TouchFrequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering custom rope hats.
Can I choose the rope color?
The rope color comes with the hat color, and most styles offer a good range of combinations. Tell us your colors and we’ll find the closest match.
Are rope hats only for golf?
No. Golf made them popular again, but we make them for breweries, surf shops, restaurants and outdoor brands too. They look at home anywhere a dad hat or a snapback would.
Does the rope get in the way of the logo?
No. The rope sits on the bill, below the front panel, so your logo has the whole front to itself.
Do rope hats cost more than a regular trucker?
A little, because the hat itself costs more. A Richardson 256 with embroidery is $25.45 at 24 hats, against $22.95 for a Richardson 112.
Are rope hats flat bill or curved?
The Richardson 256, YP Classics 6002 and Lost Hat Goat Rope have a flat bill. The Richardson 258, 355 and 112FPR, Imperial 5054 and Legacy Caddy have a pre-curved bill. Tell us which look you want and we’ll point you to the right style.
Which rope hat is best for hot weather?
A performance style like the Richardson 355, with laser-perforated sides, or the Imperial 5054. The Richardson 256 and Imperial 5054 both have a UPF 50+ rating for long days in the sun.

Hear first-hand from our incredible community of customers.
I have had countless orders with Consolidated over the last 10+ years. Hats, hoodies, shirts, embroidery... the attention to detail is something I never have to question, and my recent order of 144 t-shirts was no different. I didnt even need to check the print before I put the order in the back of the truck. Thank you guys.
Consolidated Ink was such a pleasure to work with! Professional, punctual and extremely communicative. Not only was all the design and printing Perfect, but the materials they recommended were great quality. I have already placed a full re-order with them. Highly recommend using Consolidated Ink.
Could not be happier. Needed a small quantity of T-shirts for an important public event -- and fast! Not only was the whole job turned around on a dime, but the result was terrific -- and they actually improved the main graphic, generating a higher resolution version. Never going anywhere else.
We used consolidated ink to curate our swag for the local little league… our merch is the talk of the town and sought out by many! Coolest hats and softest t-shirts around. We even had a tight deadline and they came through for us!
The team at Consolidated Ink did such a great job. They turned around merchandise for us in such a fast manner - even got great delivery and complete quality were so thrilled with results thank you thank you
Would highly recommend anyone work w Consolidated Ink - incredibly detailed, professional & reasonably priced. Pat was able to source exactly what I needed and got the job done within days of placing the order. 5 stars!
