One of my recent blog posts, which featured a link to Wearables Now article by Christopher Ruvo, mentioned a 2017 trend called “dad caps.” Basically a retro style of cap normally considered “not cool” but apparently trending once again, thanks to their appearance on some famous, trend-setting heads such as LeBron. Reader Danny commented: “Excellent article! The big question is … which brand has a dad hat to use with a heat press?” Josh Ellsworth of StahlsTV responded to Danny’s inquiry with this information:
Otto Cap is a great source for Dad Caps and has assembled a complete section under this category: I’d say this style is closest to the one worn by LeBron: Click here. The great thing about this trend is that heat printing is perfect! There is no fused buckram to deal with, so it’s very easy to load and print on a Hotronix Cap Press. We’ll plan to do a video on the trend for our December 30th class focused on trends we’re expecting in 2017: To register, click here.
Otto Cap is ready for the Dad Hat trend, even creating a special category for them on their website.
