— A SHORT GUIDE

Find Your Profile

A hat size guide from low to high — so your next custom embroidered cap fits perfectly from the start.

OVERVIEW

Not all hats fit the same way.

Have you ever put on a cap and thought it felt too big, too small, or just… off? Even after adjusting the snapback, something wasn't right. Chances are you hadn't found your profile.

The profile of a hat — also called the crown — is the height of the hat above the brim. It determines how the hat sits on your head, how structured it feels, and how much presence it has. We break them into three: Low, Mid, and High.

Whether you're ordering a custom embroidered baseball cap or a trucker hat, knowing your profile means the final product looks and feels exactly the way you imagined.

PROFILE 01

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.

CHOOSE LOW PROFILE IF YOU…

  • 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

PROFILE 02 — MOST POPULAR

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.

CHOOSE MID PROFILE IF YOU WANT A…

  • 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

PROFILE 03

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.

CHOOSE HIGH PROFILE IF YOU…

  • 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
