Description
The Adams OL102 is a 6-panel structured mid-crown trucker cap with pigment-dyed cotton twill front panels and a distressed visor, the standard distressed trucker in the wholesale headwear channel for embroidery programs, leather patch brands, and retail hat lines that want a broken-in, vintage look out of the box. The pigment-dye process on the front panels produces the faded, sun-worn colour that raw-dyed caps cannot replicate without actual wear, and the intentionally distressed visor adds to the vintage aesthetic. Every OL102 ships with the distressed look built in, which saves hat customizers the time and risk of distressing blanks by hand.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method on the OL102. The structured cotton twill front panels hold flat during hooping and accept embroidery cleanly. The mid-crown profile gives adequate vertical space for centre-front designs. Standard cap hoops and frames fit the OL102 without modification. The pigment-dyed surface has a slightly softer hand than standard-dyed twill, which does not affect embroidery performance but may slightly affect the appearance of dense fill stitches on the distressed surface. For patch application (woven, leather, PVC), the front panels hold patches with heat seal or sew-on attachment. Leather patches are the most popular decoration on distressed truckers in the retail hat market. For vinyl/HTV, the cotton twill front holds vinyl at standard settings.

The OL102 competes with the Richardson 112 trucker and the Flexfit 6511 fitted trucker in the wholesale trucker cap market. The OL102 is the distressed/vintage option with pigment-dyed cotton front and intentionally worn visor, a different aesthetic than the clean, structured look of the 112 and 6511. The Richardson 112 is the volume trucker with a clean cotton/poly front and adjustable snapback. The Flexfit 6511 is a fitted trucker with Flexfit stretch band. Cross-shop on aesthetic (distressed vs clean), closure type, and price for your hat program.
