Branded Bills vs Richardson Hats
Branded Bills is the premium, retail-feel hat; Richardson is the affordable workhorse. Many customers order Branded Bills for staff and Richardson for giveaways, with the same patch on both.
Branded Bills
Branded Bills sits in our Premium tier, with firmer structure, heavier fabric, and a finish that reads like a specialty-shop hat.
Finished Branded Bills patch hats typically land in the $40 to $50 range depending on quantity, patch style, and decoration.
Richardson
Richardson sits in our Preferred tier. The Richardson 112 is a structured trucker with a foam front and mesh back, widely used as the industry-standard base for custom patch hats, and our most requested Preferred-tier hat.
Preferred brands like Richardson typically land in the $30s, below Branded Bills, and per-hat pricing drops as quantity rises.
Which should I choose?
Choose Branded Bills when the hat itself should feel like retail merchandise. Choose Richardson when you need a proven shape across a larger order at a lower price.
