Heritage, Velocity, and Signature styles

Heritage

The Heritage series pairs the classic Richardson 112 with a clean embroidered patch of a single aviation logo, often in vintage and earth-tone colorways such as Walnut, Buckskin, Chrome, and Charcoal. It is the most traditional look in the collection and the easiest to wear every day.

Velocity

The Velocity series leans into bolder, brighter treatments, frequently in patriotic Red/White/Blue and other high-contrast colorways. It is built for pilots and enthusiasts who want their aircraft maker or aviation pride to stand out on the ramp or at the field.

Signature

The Signature series features statement designs such as the U.S. Air Force "Fly Fight Win" hat, combining the licensed mark with motto or callsign styling. It is the most distinctive option for buyers who want something beyond a single logo patch.

Shop by aircraft maker and military branch

How to choose the right Richardson 112 aviation hat

Start with the brand or branch that means the most to you, since the patch is the centerpiece of the hat. If you fly or own a specific aircraft, match the marque to your airplane; if you are honoring service, choose the Air Force or Navy design that fits. Next, pick a series: Heritage for a classic single-logo look, Velocity for bold patriotic colorways, or Signature for statement designs. Then choose a colorway that suits your wardrobe, from neutral Walnut, Buckskin, and Natural to high-contrast Red/White/Blue, Gold, and Charcoal. Fit is rarely a worry because the 112 is a one-size adjustable snapback that suits most adults. Buying a gift for a pilot, veteran, or aviation fan? A licensed 112 in their favorite brand is a safe, well-loved choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Richardson 112 hat?

The Richardson 112 is a six-panel trucker cap with a structured, mid-profile foam front, a breathable nylon mesh back, a pre-curved visor, and an adjustable snapback closure. It has been one of the best-selling trucker caps in the United States for decades and is a popular canvas for embroidered patches and logos.

What size is a Richardson 112, and is it adjustable?

The Richardson 112 is a one-size-fits-most cap with an adjustable plastic snapback closure across the back. The snapback lets it fit a wide range of adult head sizes, so you do not need to choose a size when ordering. Every style in this collection uses the same adjustable closure.

What is the difference between the Richardson 112 and 115?

The Richardson 112 is a structured, mid-profile cap with a taller crown that sits higher on the head, while the 115 is a low-profile version with a shorter crown that sits closer and flatter. Both share the trucker mesh back and snapback closure; the main difference is crown height and overall profile.

Are these aviation trucker hats officially licensed?

Yes. Every aviation patch in this collection is officially licensed by the brand it represents, including Cessna, Boeing, Beechcraft, Bell, Douglas, North American Aviation, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy. They are authentic licensed products, not generic or unauthorized logo hats.

What is the difference between the Heritage, Velocity, and Signature styles?

Heritage hats feature a clean single-logo patch, often in vintage earth-tone colorways. Velocity hats use bolder, brighter treatments such as Red/White/Blue. Signature hats carry statement designs like the Air Force "Fly Fight Win" mark. All three are built on the same genuine Richardson 112 cap.

How do I clean a Richardson 112 trucker hat?

Spot-clean a Richardson 112 by hand with mild soap and cool water, using a soft brush on soiled areas, then air-dry it on a rounded surface to hold the visor shape. Avoid the washing machine, the dryer, and hot water, which can warp the structured front and fade the embroidered patch.
