Authentic Pigment 1912 - Direct-Dyed Twill Cap - Bluegrass
Selected Color: Bluegrass11 colors
Choose Size
Description
The Authentic Pigment 1912 is a direct-dyed cotton twill cap with an unstructured low-profile crown and adjustable closure. The pigment-dye process gives the 1912 a muted, vintage-washed look with subtle color variation between pieces, which is the intentional aesthetic that retail headwear brands and embroidery shops target for custom dad cap lines. The earth-tone colorway range (Cilantro, Terracotta, Pigment Khaki) positions the 1912 for direct-to-consumer retail programs.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method on the unstructured front panel with a cap frame or hoop. DTF transfers bond to the pigment-dyed cotton. Patches (woven, leather, PVC) are popular on pigment-dyed caps. Screen printing works but the pigment-dyed surface may show slight color variation between runs, consistent with garment-dyed products.
