Richardson 112 Trucker Hat Price Increase: What’s Changing and What Bolt Printing Is Doing About It

Richardson 112 Trucker Hat Price Increase: What’s Changing and What Bolt Printing Is Doing About It  

If you're one of the many customers who love the Richardson 112 Trucker Hat, you're not alone. It's one of our top-selling styles—and for good reason. With its classic fit, breathable mesh back, and standout embroidery results, it's become a staple for teams, events, and businesses alike.

That's why we want to give you a transparent heads-up about a change we didn’t expect but are determined to handle the right way.

A Steep Cost Increase—But Only for This Hat  

We were recently informed that the Richardson 112 is undergoing a significant cost increase from our supplier, with pricing rising by approximately $1.00 per hat. This isn’t an across-the-board increase on all hats—it’s specific to the 112, and it's being driven largely by new tariffs impacting imported goods.

This jump comes on the heels of a previous increase earlier this year, making the impact on this one style especially sharp.

Why This Matters  

We know many of our customers specifically request the Richardson 112. It's not just another cap—it's your go-to for quality, fit, and brand consistency. Whether you're ordering for a company, a construction crew, a school team, or a special event, we understand that consistency matters.

That’s why we’re being proactive—and fair.

 

Here’s What Bolt Printing Is Doing  

1. We’re holding the line on current pricing for all Richardson 112 colorways we have in stock.
   If you’ve ordered a specific colorway before, you can still get it at the current price—but only while supplies last.

2. We’re testing comparable hat styles.
   We're actively sourcing and vetting alternative trucker hats that offer the same professional look and embroidery results—without the steep price hike. If we find an option we believe in, we’ll offer samples and help you make the switch if needed.

3. We're available to help you plan your next move.
   Our customer service team is here to talk you through your options—whether you want to lock in current pricing on the 112, explore alternates, or plan future orders in advance.
