Bulk trucker hats for breweries and taprooms
Brewery hats are a product, not a giveaway. They sit on a shelf behind the bar and need to look like something a regular wants to buy at $30 to $35. That is why most breweries order laser-engraved leather patches.
Who orders
Craft breweries, taprooms, cideries and distilleries, from a one-room startup ordering 48 hats to a regional brewery ordering 500 across three colorways.
What they order
- Richardson 112 with a round or rectangular leather patch of the brewery mark.
- YP Classics 6606 for a lower price point on the shelf.
- Richardson 168 or 511 for a flat-bill or seven-panel option.
- A second run with embroidery for staff hats.
Example job
A Reno-area brewery, 144 patch hats in three colors
| Line | Qty | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Richardson 112, Loden/Black, leather patch (glued) | 72 | $18.50 | $1,332.00 |

| Richardson 112, Heather Grey/Black, same patch | 24 | $18.50 | $444.00 |
| Setup | 0 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
Total $2,664.00 for 144 hats at $18.50 each. Same patch across all three colors, so the whole run prices at the 144+ tier. Sold at $32 each the shelf margin is $13.50 per hat before tax.
