Features & Benefits

The Richardson 256 Umpqua brings together outdoor functionality and a distinctive retro aesthetic, making it a versatile option within the Richardson caps collection for lifestyle brands, outdoor programs, and team merchandise.

Panel: The 5-panel construction builds the crown from five sections without a center seam. This provides a clean, seamless surface ideal for uninterrupted embroidery or patch placement. The result is a slightly wider, more open silhouette compared to a 6-panel build.

Structure: The 256 uses an unstructured crown with a flip-up buckram stay - a stiff mesh insert. Wearers can choose a supported or relaxed profile, making it adaptable to different styles without changing the cap, making it adaptable to different personal styles without changing the cap itself.

Crown Height: At mid-profile, the 256 sits at a moderate height that avoids extremes in either direction. The Gramps-inspired shape creates a rounder, softer crown silhouette that reads as casual and vintage-forward - a strong fit for lifestyle, outdoor, and streetwear branding programs.

Hat Bill: The flat bill is a deliberate design element that reinforces the cap's outdoor and heritage aesthetic. Left flat, it gives the cap a clean, geometric front edge and pairs naturally with the bill rope detail. It offers reliable shade coverage while adding to the cap's distinct visual character.

Material: The front panels are constructed from an 85% Cotton / 15% Nylon performance blend. The cotton component delivers breathability and a comfortable feel against the skin, while nylon adds durability and helps the fabric resist stretching and abrasion over prolonged use. The standard cotton sweatband includes an added vapor barrier layer to reduce sweat from diffusing into the cap's interior.

Color: The 256 is available in 19 color variants. Each colorway places one color on the front panel and flat bill and a contrasting color on the back panels, creating a defined visual split that adds depth to the silhouette. This two-tone layout complements both logo placement on the front and the rope detail along the bill.

Special Features: The 256 carries three notable design elements that distinguish it from standard blank caps. The 5mm bill rope runs along the base of the flat visor - a heritage golf detail that adds visual texture without adding weight. The flip-up buckram stay supports front panel shaping and gives buyers flexibility in how the cap is worn. And a UPF 50+ rating means the fabric actively blocks the majority of UV radiation, making this cap a practical choice for extended outdoor wear.
