Richardson Hat Model Numbers Explained: What 112, 168, 220, and Others Mean

Richardson cap style numbers show up constantly in search because the company names its silhouettes by number rather than a marketing name. A "112" and a "220" are genuinely different hats: different crown height, different back panel, different bill curve. Here is what the commonly searched numbers refer to, in plain terms, and which one lines up with what Bear Grips prints.

What the Most-Searched Richardson Style Numbers Refer To

Style number	General description	Typical profile
112	Rope-trim trucker, mesh back, snapback closure	Mid profile, curved bill
110	Trucker mesh back without the rope trim detail	Mid profile, curved bill
115	Low-profile trucker variant	Low profile, curved bill
168	Structured trucker mesh back	Mid to high profile
220	Flexfit-style fitted cap	Mid profile, no snapback
225	Structured flex-fit variant	Mid profile, fitted
258	Camper-style soft crown cap	Low, unstructured
326	Washed twill low-profile cap	Low profile, unstructured

These descriptions reflect general, publicly known cap-industry naming conventions and are provided for reference. They are not a claim that Bear Grips carries every number listed.

Which Style Bear Grips Actually Prints

Bear Grips carries one Richardson-brand piece: the Classic Rope Hat, a rope-trim mesh-back trucker. That is the silhouette most closely associated with the 112, the number that dominates search volume for a reason: it is the most recognizable cap in the Richardson lineup and the one most small brands mean when they say "get me a Richardson hat." See the full product breakdown in the Richardson rope hat custom logo guide.

112 vs 115 vs 110: The Practical Difference

• 112 vs 110. Both are mesh-back trucker caps with a similar profile. The 112 adds the rope trim across the front seam; the 110 does not. The rope trim is largely cosmetic, not structural.
• 112 vs 115. The 115 sits lower on the head (low profile) compared to the 112's mid profile. Buyers who want a flatter, more relaxed look search for the 115; buyers who want the classic rounded trucker shape search for the 112.
• Which one for a logo. The rope trim on the 112 does not interfere with the front panel print or embroidery area, so either profile takes a logo the same way.

Why the Number Matters Less Than the Logo Does

For a brand building a merch shop, the exact model number is far less important than getting the logo, color, and price right. A rope-trim trucker with a sharp one-color logo at $30 retail outsells a technically "correct" model number with a muddy five-color print every time. Design guidance is in Richardson hat design ideas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 112 in Richardson 112 refer to?

It is Richardson's style number for its rope-trim, mesh-back trucker cap, the most recognized cap in the brand's catalog.

Is the Bear Grips hat officially a 112?

Bear Grips lists it as the Classic Rope Hat, the rope-trim trucker silhouette closest to what most buyers mean by "112." We do not make a specific model-number claim beyond that.

Whats the difference between 112 and 168?

The 168 is a more structured trucker profile, generally sitting slightly higher and firmer than the softer-crowned 112.

Do all Richardson style numbers take a logo the same way?

The front panel print or embroidery area is broadly similar across trucker-style numbers. Fitted and low-profile styles may have a smaller usable front panel.
