Find your profile
A hat size guide from low to high — so your next custom embroidered cap fits perfectly from the start.
What makes a profile
The profile — the crown — is the height of the cap above the bill. It decides how the cap sits, how structured it feels, and how much presence it has. We break it into three: Low, Mid, and High.
Whether you're ordering a custom embroidered baseball cap or a trucker hat, knowing your profile means the finished cap looks and feels exactly the way you imagined.
Hat crown heights
Low Profile
The Richardson 115 Low Pro Trucker sits closer to the head for a sleek, modern silhouette. It's slightly less structured than the 112, giving it a relaxed, everyday feel. A great choice for smaller heads or anyone who prefers a snugger, understated fit.
- Have a smaller head or find most hats fit too large
- Don't want the cap sitting high above your ears
- Want a sleek, modern, close-fitting silhouette
- Prefer a more casual, low-key look
Mid Profile
The Richardson 112 is by far the most popular hat I embroider. It's the gold standard of trucker hats — structured, comfortable, and flattering on nearly every head shape and size. The 3–4" crown gives it that classic baseball cap presence without going overboard.
- Classic trucker hat look that works for almost everyone
- Structured crown that holds embroidery cleanly
- Hat for a team, business, or branded merchandise
- Timeless silhouette that's noticeable but laid-back
High Profile
The Richardson 168 is a 7-panel hi-pro trucker with a flat bill — bold, tall, and modern. The seamless front panel is an excellent canvas for embroidery and gives it a clean, fashion-forward look. Great for larger heads or anyone wanting their hat to make a statement.
- Have a larger head or most hats feel too tight
- Love the tall, bold, flat-bill snapback look
- Want maximum front panel space for a large design
- Are going for a modern, streetwear-influenced style
