Custom Richardson 172 Hats
Custom Richardson 172 hats put your logo on a stretch-fit performance cap: the Pulse Sportmesh R-Flex, built with moisture-wicking front panels, a breathable SportMesh back, and a snug R-Flex stretch fit. Speedy Pros Hats, family-owned in Brandon, FL since 2009, decorates Richardson 172 caps to order with no minimums and a free digital proof before anything is made.
The 172 is Richardson’s athletic performer. Its Pulse performance fabric keeps you cool and dry, the SportMesh back breathes, and the R-Flex band stretches for an easy, secure fit, no snap needed. It’s the pick for teams, uniforms, and active wear that still shows a logo cleanly.

Every hat is decorated here in the USA, any order size is welcome, and free artwork setup is included on orders of 12 or more.

What Is the Richardson 172?
The Richardson 172 Pulse Sportmesh R-Flex is a structured, six-panel, mid-profile performance cap. Its front panels use Richardson’s Pulse performance fabric (a poly-spandex blend) with Stay-Dri wicking, paired with breathable SportMesh side and back panels and a pre-curved contrast-stitched sandwich visor. It uses R-Flex stretch-fit technology, sized by band (S/M and L/XL) for a snug, secure fit without a snap. Our Richardson hats guide covers the brand.
The appeal is athletic comfort. The Pulse fabric and mesh keep it cool and dry through activity, while the R-Flex band gives a clean, tailored fit that stays put, ideal for sports teams, work uniforms, and anyone who wants a performance cap that looks sharp. The structured front still holds a logo crisply. Compare it with a classic Richardson trucker for a different build.
Because it’s sized by band rather than one-size, you plan a rough size split for a group, but you get a more tailored, athletic fit in return. It’s the go-to Richardson for a performance, team-ready cap.
Richardson 172 at a Glance
Here is the make-up of the cap.
| Richardson 172 | |
|---|---|
| Front | Pulse performance, Stay-Dri wicking |
| Back | Breathable SportMesh |
| Build | Structured, mid-profile |
| Fit | R-Flex stretch, sized S/M + L/XL |

The 172 is a structured performance cap with a moisture-wicking Pulse front, a SportMesh back, and an R-Flex stretch fit sized by band.
If you want an athletic, moisture-wicking performance cap, the 172 is a strong pick. For a classic mesh-back trucker instead, see the Richardson trucker range; for the brand overall, our Richardson hats guide. We show your logo on your proof.
Who the 172 Suits
The 172 shines for sports teams, athletic programs, work uniforms, and outdoor crews, anywhere performance and a clean, tailored fit matter. The wicking Pulse fabric and mesh keep it comfortable through activity, and the R-Flex band gives a secure fit that stays put during movement, more so than a snapback.
Because it’s sized by band, plan a rough S/M to L/XL split for a group. You can order it through our custom Richardson range and match your logo to the cap on your proof.
Branding a 172
The structured front holds a logo well, so a centered front embroidered logo reads crisp, ideal for a team or brand mark. We size it on your proof so it sits balanced.
A woven or leather patch or 3D puff also works on the firm front. Richardson recommends embroidery, patches, labels, and transfers on this style.
Thread or patch color sets the tone. High-contrast for bold, tonal for subtle. Everything is locked on your free proof first.
Plan a rough size split. Because the 172 is sized by band, estimate an S/M to L/XL split for your group up front, it makes ordering a batch smooth and avoids fit surprises on a stretch-fit cap.
Who Orders Custom 172 Hats
Sports teams, athletic programs, work uniforms, and outdoor crews that want a moisture-wicking, tailored performance cap. The Pulse fabric and R-Flex fit keep it comfortable and secure through activity, while the structured front shows a logo sharply.
For a classic trucker, see the Richardson trucker range; for the brand overall, our Richardson hats guide. For a performance cap, the 172 is the pick.
One logo covers the run, and you plan size bands rather than exact sizes for a group.
How to Order Custom 172 Hats
Pick a color and size bands, send your logo, and approve the free digital proof. There are no minimums, so order one 172 or a full team, with free artwork setup on orders of 12 or more. Everything is decorated in the USA.
Browse custom Richardson styles, or start a custom 172 order and we will proof it first. Pricing and the production window are shown on the quick order page.
Treating it like a one-size cap. The 172 is an R-Flex stretch-fit sized in bands, not one-size. Plan a rough S/M to L/XL split for a group, or choose an adjustable Richardson if you want true one-size.
What to Send and What You Get
Send your logo as a vector file when you can — an AI, EPS, or PDF — and we set it up for decoration. A high-resolution PNG works too, and if the art needs cleanup we handle it. Free artwork setup is included on orders of 12 or more, so most orders start with no setup cost at all.
We match your brand colors on the free digital proof, where you see the cap and the logo together before anything is made. Nothing goes into production until you approve that proof, so the first Richardson 172 hats off the line is the one you signed off on — colors, size, and placement included.
Reordering is simple. Your setup stays on file, so a repeat run comes back consistent with the first. With no minimums you can start with a single piece or a small batch to confirm the look, then scale up once the design is proven, all from the same shop and the same quick order page.
Every order includes that free proof and our help getting the art right, so you are never guessing at the result. If something is off on our end, we make it right or remake the order on a production error — that is the whole point of proofing before production, to catch anything before a hat is made rather than after.
