Straw Hats & Sun Hats
Promotional Sun Hats
The fabric dictates how a sun hat performs outdoors. Legionnaire caps use poly-cotton construction that holds up through daily use and washing. For corporate summer events, brushed heavy cotton wide-brim hats carry a corporate aesthetic. The straw and fedora section covers tourism and resort merchandise. Seagrass straw construction delivers a natural finish. Straw and polyester blends improve durability without sacrificing the look. String straw and cotton blends add structure. Felt fedoras bring a western aesthetic suited to themed corporate events. Eco-conscious materials are available for sustainable campaigns. Understanding the fabric helps match the hat to the specific promotion.
Outdoor Applications
Sun hats occupy a unique position in the merchandise catalogue. Your logo travels with them to beaches, worksites, school ovals, and outdoor events. The breadth of styles means there is a specific hat for every context. Legionnaire caps with back flaps are the right choice for worksites and school outdoor programs. Hi-vis versions in green and orange meet visibility requirements for construction environments. Foldable styles pack flat into event bags. Canvas hats come in multiple sizes, accommodating different age groups in school settings. When planning a summer campaign, headwear is the most visible item you can distribute. It sits at eye level and moves with the wearer.
Features dictate the branding method. UPF50 rated hats feature adjustable woven chin straps. High visibility sun hats include an adjustable toggle. Branding is applied via embroidery, screen printing, or a full colour digital transfer. Embroidery suits structured cotton and canvas styles. Screen printing is a cost-effective method for microfibre styles in volume. Full colour digital transfers handle photographic artwork across both woven and synthetic fabrics. Microfibre sun hats provide a large flat print area specifically designed for brand activations. The branding method is chosen based on the fabric, ensuring the logo remains intact through sun exposure and repeated wear. Sun hats offer a larger canvas for branding compared to caps. The wide brim on canvas styles and the flat front on legionnaire caps provide clear visibility for your logo. When someone wears the hat, the branding is positioned at eye level, generating consistent impressions throughout the day.
