Richardson 112PT Tactical Trucker Cap | Leather Patch Included
The Richardson 112PT Tactical Trucker takes America's most trusted cap and engineers it for professionals who demand more. Designed specifically for military personnel, law enforcement, pilots, hunters, and shooting sports enthusiasts, this cap solves the critical problem that standard caps create: pressure points from ear protection and headsets.
With its innovative no-button crown design, the 112PT eliminates the discomfort caused by over-ear headsets pressing a top button into your scalp during long shifts or extended range time. Combined with durable NYCO ripstop fabric in authentic MultiCam patterns and a breathable mesh back, this is the cap that works as hard as you do.
We pair this tactical workhorse with a custom leather patch precision-cut from premium Hermann Oak vegetable-tanned leather or your choice of Specialty Leather Colors. Every patch is laser-engraved with your logo, unit insignia, or design and heat-sealed in-house for a professional look that withstands the toughest conditions.
With our low 6-piece minimum, same-day proofs, and 7-10 business day turnaround, outfitting your team, unit, or shooting club with professional custom tactical caps has never been easier.
If you've ever spent hours wearing ear protection or a communications headset under a standard cap, you know the problem: that top button creates a painful pressure point that digs into your scalp. What starts as minor discomfort becomes a genuine distraction during long operations, extended range sessions, or full-shift patrols.
The 112PT solves this with intelligent design: By eliminating the traditional top button, the crown sits flat and distributes pressure evenly across your head, even when compressed by ear cups or headset bands. The structured six-panel construction maintains the cap's shape without needing a button, so you get professional appearance and all-day comfort.
Who benefits most:
The difference is immediate and dramatic. Professionals who switch to the 112PT consistently report they can finally wear a cap comfortably throughout their entire shift or training day without the nagging pressure point that standard caps create.

💡 Our Recommendation: Choose the Richardson 112PT tactical trucker when your team regularly wears ear protection, communications headsets, or hearing protection. The no-button crown design and military-grade NYCO ripstop fabric make this the obvious choice for tactical professionals, security personnel, aviation workers, hunters, and shooting sports enthusiasts. Choose the standard Richardson 112 for casual business applications where tactical aesthetics aren't required.
The Richardson 112PT isn't a fashion statement or a promotional giveaway. It's purpose-built tactical gear designed to solve real problems that professionals face in demanding environments. When you're focused on a mission, operation, or competition, your gear should work seamlessly in the background, not create distractions.
Engineered Comfort for Extended Wear: The no-button crown design is the headline feature, but the 112PT's comfort advantages run deeper. The structured six-panel construction maintains professional appearance while distributing weight evenly. The mesh back provides airflow during hot weather operations or extended physical activity. The adjustable snapback accommodates different head sizes and allows for precise fit adjustments when wearing the cap over or under ear protection.
Military-Grade Durability: NYCO ripstop fabric (50% cotton/50% nylon blend) delivers the same abrasion resistance and toughness used in military uniforms and tactical gear. This isn't standard cotton that wears thin after months of field use. The ripstop weave prevents tears from spreading, the nylon content provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and the material maintains its integrity through repeated washing and harsh conditions. Whether you're crawling through brush, working in rough environments, or simply demanding gear that lasts years instead of months, the 112PT delivers.
Authentic Tactical Aesthetic: Available in genuine MultiCam patterns (Multicam Black and Multicam Original/Coyote), the 112PT provides the professional tactical appearance that matters in military, law enforcement, and security applications. These aren't cheap knockoff patterns, they're authentic MultiCam designs that match tactical uniforms and gear. The result is a cohesive professional appearance that communicates competence and preparedness.
Proven Richardson Quality: The 112PT builds on Richardson's legendary reputation for manufacturing caps that professionals actually wear. The structured front panels maintain crisp shape through years of use, the pre-curved visor provides sun protection without looking oversized, and the construction quality ensures consistent fit and appearance across every cap in your order.
While standard tactical caps often feature embroidered patches or hook-and-loop panels, we elevate your 112PT with a premium laser-engraved leather patch that creates a distinctive, professional look perfectly suited to tactical applications.
Note: We've discontinued faux leather options. Every Richardson 112PT now features genuine leather only, ensuring consistent quality and longevity that matches the tactical-grade durability of the cap itself.

What makes the 112PT different from a standard Richardson 112?
The 112PT features a no-button crown design that eliminates the pressure point created when wearing ear protection or communications headsets over standard caps. It also uses military-grade NYCO ripstop fabric (50% cotton/50% nylon) for superior durability and abrasion resistance, and comes in authentic MultiCam tactical patterns rather than solid colors. If you regularly wear ear protection, headsets, or operate in tactical environments, the 112PT solves real comfort and durability problems that standard caps can't.
Will this cap really make a difference with ear protection?
Absolutely. The no-button design provides immediate, noticeable relief from the pressure point that standard caps create when compressed by ear muffs or headset bands. Military personnel, law enforcement officers, pilots, and shooting sports competitors consistently report they can now wear a cap comfortably through entire shifts, training days, or competitions. If you've ever removed your cap halfway through the day because of discomfort, the 112PT solves that problem permanently.
What's the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order is just 6 pieces—perfect for small tactical teams, security details, shooting clubs, or pilot groups. No bulk requirements, no excessive inventory sitting in storage.
How durable is NYCO ripstop compared to regular cotton caps?
Significantly more durable. NYCO ripstop combines cotton comfort with nylon strength, creating fabric with superior abrasion resistance and tear prevention. The ripstop weave prevents tears from spreading if the fabric is punctured or snagged. This is the same material used in military uniforms, tactical gear, and high-performance outdoor equipment. Expect the 112PT to outlast standard cotton caps by a significant margin, especially in demanding field conditions.
Are these authentic MultiCam patterns?
Yes. These are genuine MultiCam patterns, not imitations or "camo-style" prints. The Multicam Black and Multicam Original colorways are authentic tactical patterns that coordinate with military and law enforcement uniforms and gear.
How quickly will I receive my artwork proof?
Most proofs are sent the same day your order is placed, typically within 2-4 hours during business hours. You'll see a digital mockup showing exactly how your logo or insignia will appear on the leather patch before we begin engraving.
What's the turnaround time for production?
Production takes 7 to 10 business days after you approve your proof. Larger orders (100+ units) may require an additional 2-3 days. Factor in 3-5 business days for ground shipping. Most teams receive their caps within two weeks of ordering.
Can you work with military unit insignias or law enforcement badges?
Yes. Our design team has extensive experience converting unit patches, insignias, badges, and tactical logos into production-ready artwork for leather engraving. Send us your design in any format—we'll optimize it for laser engraving and show you options in your proof. We provide free artwork assistance with every order.
Will the snapback fit everyone on my team?
Yes, in nearly all cases. The adjustable plastic snapback accommodates head circumferences from approximately 21" to 24" (small through extra-large adult sizes), covering about 95% of adults. The snap positions provide precise incremental adjustments for comfortable fit.
Should I get a leather patch or embroidery?
Leather patches offer a distinctive professional upgrade for tactical applications. Benefits include: more detailed reproduction of complex insignias and logos (laser engraving captures fine details better than embroidery), unique tactile quality that stands out, professional appearance that ages well, and differentiation from standard embroidered tactical caps. Leather patches are particularly effective for unit insignias, organizational logos, and designs requiring fine detail.
How do I care for these caps?
Do not machine wash or place in dryer. The leather patch and NYCO ripstop fabric maintain their quality best with spot cleaning using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air drying. This simple care routine keeps both the MultiCam pattern and leather patch looking professional through years of use.
Can I order a sample before committing to my full order?
Yes. You can order a single sample cap with your custom leather patch to evaluate quality, fit, logo appearance, and the no-button crown design before ordering for your full team. Contact us directly to discuss sample pricing and timeline, particularly popular for units making first-time custom tactical cap purchases.
Do you offer rush production for urgent needs?
We offer rush production for tight deadlines. Contact us with your required date before ordering, and we'll confirm if we can accommodate your timeline. Rush fees may apply for orders needed in under 7 business days, depending on current production schedule.
How does reordering work?
Reordering is simple and fast. Once your leather patch design is approved, we keep your artwork on file permanently. Future orders require no new setup fees, no design work, no artwork submission, and no proof approval unless you want changes. Just place your reorder—we'll produce using your existing approved design.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! Orders over $200 ship free anywhere in the contiguous United States via ground service. This threshold is typically met with 12-18 caps depending on volume discounts. Expedited shipping and delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, or international locations require additional fees shown at checkout.
Can the 112PT be worn comfortably without ear protection?
Absolutely. While the no-button crown design solves a specific problem for professionals wearing ear protection, it also provides enhanced comfort for everyday wear. Many users report the 112PT is simply more comfortable than traditional caps, even when not wearing headsets. You get tactical durability and professional appearance with superior all-day comfort.
