Custom motorcycle club hats are the add-on item that every member buys eventually. A hat with the club logo fills a different role than the shirt: it is worn on the bike, at the bar, and in everyday life without the full club statement of a back-graphic shirt. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries the hat styles that MC members actually reach for, printed or embroidered with the club logo, with no minimum order and free shipping.
MC hat culture gravitates toward a specific set of silhouettes that carry club identity without looking like generic promotional merchandise:
Hat decoration method affects the look and durability of the club logo:
Printed hats (rope hats, snapbacks, mesh hats): the logo is printed directly onto the front panel. This allows for full-color designs with gradients, detailed graphics, and photographic elements. Best for complex club crests or colorful logos. Print quality holds up well but is slightly less textured than embroidery.
Embroidered hats (flat bill, beanies, baseball hats): the logo is stitched into the hat material. Embroidery has a raised, textured feel that reads as premium. Works best with simplified logos (fewer than five colors, no very fine lines). Embroidery on dark hats in contrast thread looks especially clean and durable. The flat bill snapback and the cuffed beanie in our catalog use embroidery.
For most MC logos, both methods work. If the club crest has many colors or fine graphic detail, choose a printed hat style. If the club name or a simplified emblem is the primary design element, embroidery adds a premium feel worth the slightly higher base cost.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Hats are the most effective add-on item in a club shop because they are low-cost, highly visible, and serve a practical function on the bike. Members who already own the club shirt will add a hat to their order when it is available because it fills a different daily-wear role.
To maximize hat sales:
Hat pricing in MC shops works at a slightly lower margin than shirts but the lower price point drives higher impulse purchases:
| Hat Style | Base Cost | Suggested Retail | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Richardson Rope Hat | $30 | $40 | $10 |
| Yupoong Snapback (flat bill) | $35 | $45 | $10 |
| Mesh Snapback | $26 | $36 | $10 |
| Cuffed Winter Beanie | $26 | $36 | $10 |
A $10 margin per hat is modest per item, but hats convert at a higher impulse rate than shirts because the price point is lower. Members who hesitate at a $65 hoodie do not hesitate at a $40 hat.
No minimum. Rope hats, snapbacks, beanies with your club logo. Free shipping, US-printed and embroidered.
Start FreeThe Richardson rope hat is the most distinctly MC-associated hat style. Yupoong snapbacks and flat bills are also popular, particularly with members who wear the hat as a streetwear item rather than strictly a riding hat.
Printed hats work best for complex, multi-color logos. Embroidered hats work best for simplified designs or text-based logos. Embroidery has a premium feel that makes it a popular choice for flat bill snapbacks and winter beanies.
Yes. No minimum order. One hat for a new member or a full club set for an event. Each hat is decorated and shipped individually to the buyer.
Most MC shops price hats $10-15 above base cost. A rope hat with a $30 base cost retails for $40-45. A beanie with a $26 base cost retails for $36-40.
