WELCOME to HAT VALLEY,

where the beer runs cold, the track at Hayward runs hot, and tie-dye is a wardrobe staple. Richardson is proud to present the second installment of our Quality in Every Stitch film series.

A legacy 
of quality, craftsmanship, and versatilitY
The history of Richardson’s storied 112 Trucker began 19 years ago. The brief was simple, but by no means easy: Create the ultimate trucker cap. Little did they know they’d be creating a trucker that, eventually, would become the standard by which all other caps were measured.
With their nearly 20 years of headwear creation expertise to guide them – along with the trademark attention to detail that’s become the calling card of the Richardson brand – the Richardson product team set to work.
“There were three key areas we wanted to nail when we started designing the 112,” recalled Kelly Richardson, CEO of Richardson. “The first was profile. It had to have that timeless, baseball-inspired Richardson Mid Pro shape. The next was fit. This had to be a good, all-around cap that looked great on everyone. A cap you’d want to wear all day long and would quickly become your favorite. And lastly, as with everything else we do at Richardson, it had to be made with quality first. From materials to construction to fit consistency – I wanted the best of all of it.”
After trying on a lot of prototypes and working through numerous sample rounds, the team finally created a cap that answered the brief. America’s Favorite Cap was born.
an enduring icon
Today, the 112 Trucker – along with the numerous iterations derived from it – have become a true icon of the Richardson brand. Often imitated but never duplicated, the 112 family of headwear continues to stand for quality, craftsmanship, and versatility.
“We never expected the 112 to become as popular as it has,” said Kelly. “But I suppose that its popularity is a bit of a testament to our brand’s focus on quality in everything we do.”
Across the country, teams, brands, retailers, businesses, and promotional products companies have made the 112 their go-to canvas for creativity. You’ll find the 112 family of caps everywhere, including fishing shops, breweries, golf pro shops, college bookstores, outdoor retailers, resorts, surf shops, and even carrying the logos of some of the world’s most iconic brands.

The 112 has even become an icon for good. Captains For Clean Water, a non-profit whose mission is to restore and protect water resources in Florida’s peninsula region and beyond, have made the 112 their icon.
