People always ask me where my pins are made and I tell them right here in Oregon. Badass pins and quick responses all in English. I’ve dealt with making pins over seas and it’s a struggle communicating and the time difference does not help.

The Monterey Company will now be my go to maker of keychains. (Guess I better check out their other products as well!) Ordered these keychains from Josh and he was great to work with very personable and knowledgeable. I actually look at them last February and wasn’t ready to order until June. He kindly reminded me without any “high pressure.” Great place to get your swag!!

The stickers and patches I ordered could not have turned out better. Josh was excellent to work with and helped me make sure that my designed turned out the way I wanted on the stickers, as well as helped frame the design for the patch so the details came through correctly. This was my second time using Monterey and I will be coming back again the next time

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Eric Turney and the entire team of the Monterey Company for your communicative cooperation. And last but not least, for another beautifully designed and perfect-looking badge for the Tuvalu Football Association. After the badges for the football associations of Comoros, New Caledonia, and East Timor, this is now the fifth project I have completed through Monterey Company to everyone's complete satisfaction. My very special thanks again for that.

I ran a business for a few years, found these guys and purchased from them directly, had a stroke and the company I gave everything to kicked me to the curb I saw some new stuff coming out that I liked and all I did was email and ask if they were making the new stuff I seen and I was told they couldn’t talk to me anymore even though i was looking to be a customer to them on my own, I just think that’s bad business.i wasn’t trying to sabotage anyone or anything just figure out my next chapter in life.

FAQ

We sew all our patches to our hats. We find the best application for custom patch hats is sewing the patch to the trucker hat. Very rarely do we heat apply patches to hats, only on incredibly intricate patch shapes. Sewing our patches keeps the patch in place for a lifetime.
Snapback is the adjustable closure on the backside of the hat, snapback hats can be trucker hats, baseball hats, even dad hats or performance hats. On the other hand, trucker hats are a style of hat that has a mesh-style back panel.
Originally, trucker hats were popularized by blue-collar workers in the 1970s. Back then, they often included a foam front and an adjustable snapback. Today, trucker hats symbolize modern fashion for all walks of life. Trucker hats are worn by men, women, and even offered in youth sizes.
While they are very similar, the Richardson 115 is a low-profile fit, while the Richardson 112 is a mid-profile fit.

Check out our blog article on an in-depth dive into more differences between the two hats.
There are many different trucker hat manufacturers in countless variations.

Product pricing is included on each hat model for quantities of 24 to 500, with outstanding bulk discounts. All of our pricing includes either custom embroidery or a custom patch on your trucker hat. If you have any questions or prefer tailored help, you can always contact our talented sales staff.
Dad hats have an unstructured front, a lower profile fit, and a cloth front and back. They're not just popular with dads, though, we see these hats in streetwear and hip-hop culture. Trucker hats, on the other hand, typically include a mesh back, structured front panel or foam front panel, and one-size-fits-most snapback closure.
