Flexfit is one of the largest headwear brands in the United States. These guys have been in the industry for more than four decades now, and their expertise is evident when you look at their products.
Flexfit has an extensive catalog featuring hundreds of cap designs ranging from standard baseball caps to snapback and dad hats.
One of the reasons for the success of Flexfit is its commitment to innovating headwear gear. The company is actually responsible for the first patented stretch-fit cap technology in the world; the Flexfit Tech. The technology involves weaving the polyurethane spandex inside the sweatband, which runs around the crown. This results in a super-comfortable fit.
So, if you are thinking about making custom Flexfit hats, we’ve got some ideas for you to consider. Here are some of the best Flexfit hat designs that would make incredible custom baseball caps:
The Flexfit Kryptek has a cool camouflage meets graphic design pattern. The caps design is inspired by different environments. For example, the Kryptek Highlander pictured above is meant for the desert and sage terrains.
Meanwhile, the Kryptek Pontus has a water theme design.
The Kyrptek cap designs stand out. The hats appeal to people who enjoy the outdoors and want a cap that stands out. Anyone who loves caps with interesting patterns will appreciate these designs.
The patterns aside, Flexfit Kryptek Caps are made using 100% polyester. They have a Permacurv visor, six eyelets, and a stretch-fitted closure.
The Flexfit Glen Check Plaid design uses traditional woven patterns. It’s the type of fabric you might imagine a dinner suit that your grandad wears being made of, or used for a flat cap. Using it on a baseball cap is a bit different, which is part of the appeal.
The hat is 3% spandex and 97% polyester. The material is relatively thick, but there are eyelets around the panel to promote air circulation. It has a mid-profile with a Permacurv PE visor.
If you want to design a custom hat, think about the fabric. Creating something a bit different will make your cap memorable.
The Flexfit 6007 is a 5-panel snapback cap with hard structured buckram. It has one large panel at the front and four panels from the mid to the rear of the cap. The large blank panel at the front is perfect for screen printing. Also, since the cap is designed with only one solid color, it would be easy to add a custom logo that pops.
The cap is made of 100% cotton with a plastic snapback closure at the back.
The 6511T is one of the best-selling trucker hats at Flexfit. It has the classic two-tone trucker hat design with black visor and front panels and white mid to rear mesh panels. It’s made of 55% polyester, 43% cotton, and 2% PU spandex.
The elastic mesh provides a comfortable fit while the curved visor protects eyes from the scorching summer sun.
The Flexfit 6511T is a great design option if you want to make a stylish yet functional custom trucker hat. If you want to create your own, consider adding a printed logo on the front panel or playing around with different color combinations.
For example, Flexfit produces the hat in pink/white, red/white, red/black, charcoal/navy, etc., with a silver under-visor. As you can see, there are plenty of options to consider.
The Flexfit 360 rocks a full-crown mesh design. The Omnimesh Cap is 99% polyester and 1% PU spandex with eight rows of stitching on the visor.
It’s available in two sizes, and the mesh is highly stretchable, so it’s pretty easy to get the perfect fit. This style is an excellent option if your target customers want a lightweight, breathable baseball cap.
The full-mesh design makes the cap stylish and different. You can see how being a bit different is a good thing when it comes to custom hats.
The Melange 6355 Cap has a one-of-a-kind textured design. The melange fabric gives the hat a touch of sophistication, which is welcome if you want your custom baseball caps to stand out.
The cap is made of 98% Polyester and 2% PU Spandex sewed with 100% cotton thread. It’s available in two sizes; S/M and L/XL. There are six eyelets around the crown for ventilation.
Flexfit produces the cap in two styles; Wideland and Poseidon black. They both have a mid-profile with a curved visor and a closed stretch back. That means it’s only available in fitted sizes, but there are two options to pick from; the small and medium or large and extra-large.
The Veil Camo Cap is also designed with Flexfit’s water repellent technology, keeping the cap dry even in wet conditions. That, combined with the camouflage pattern, makes it popular among outdoor enthusiasts.
Flexfit has a nice range of cap designs. The company experiment a lot with textures and styles, something that their customers appreciate. However, I would suggest you choose your branding style carefully to avoid ruining the designs.
