What Is the Richardson Rope Hat?
The Richardson 112FPR is a five-panel snapback trucker cap built on the foundation of the popular 112FP style, enhanced with a decorative rope across the bill. Designed for both casual and promotional wear, it retains the mesh-back structure and mid-profile shape of traditional truckers while introducing a heritage-inspired rope accent. This model combines retro styling cues with modern construction for versatile use in branded programs.

How the 112FPR Compares to Related Styles
Compared to the base 112FP model, the 112FPR introduces two key differences: a decorative rope accent across the visor and unique color offerings not found in the standard lineup. Both retain the same five-panel construction and mid-profile fit, but the rope feature lends the 112FPR a retro-inspired aesthetic suited for vintage-themed branding or elevated casual wear.
Customization Options and Use Cases
The Richardson 112FPR’s five-panel construction and structured front panel are compatible with common decoration methods offered by most custom hat providers, such as front patch or screen-printed logos. The addition of the bill rope adds a layer of visual interest that pairs well with clean or minimal branding. This style is frequently used for event giveaways, lifestyle merch collections, bar and restaurant uniforms, or casual team apparel where a vintage detail is desired.
