All you need to know: 6‑panel hats
What does 6‑panel mean for a hat?
The 6‑panel cap is the classic snapback hat structure that has remained popular over time. 6‑panel hats traditionally have the following attributes (though we can customize every aspect far beyond these):
- Six fabric sections shape the classic ballcap structure
- Default structured crown with an embroidery-framing brim
- Curved or sometimes flat sandwich brim
- Closure styles such as snapback, Velcro, or fitted
- Durable fabrics like cotton, canvas, and poly blends
The structured panel construction spotlights logos and graphics front and center. The reinforced crowns also keep decorative detailing prominently displayed.

What is a panel on a hat?
Hat panels are the triangular fabric segments that make up the crown of structured cap styles such as basketball caps. The number and size of these fabric pieces give different hat silhouettes their distinctive forms.
For example:
- 5‑panel hats have 5 triangular fabric segments sewn together to create the cap structure crown. This gives a more rounded dome shape.
- 6‑panel caps add slightly smaller front panel pieces for a boxier, prominent front-facing profile.
- Unstructured caps may forgo multiple structured panels for a collapsed crown look.

6‑Panel hat FAQs
What is the difference between 8‑panel and 6‑panel hats?
The main difference comes down to crown shaping. 8‑panel caps add two extra fabric panels for a fuller, rounder dome silhouette contrasting the boxier 6‑panel profile. Your choice depends on the desired balance between fitted structure versus depth.
Do 5‑panel hats fit better than 6‑panel hats?
Comfort differs from person to person, but 5‑panels generally fit more heads seamlessly. Their extra curved crown segments contour more scalps without awkward gaps that sometimes afflict boxy 6‑panels. All in all, which hat fits better depends on your preferences and head shape.

What is the turnaround time on a custom hat order?
Turnaround time depends on whether you go with an off-the-shelf hat with your logo, or you want to customize the details of the hat, such as closure, material, stitching, and more.
- The standard turnaround time for producing an order of off-the-shelf hats is around 2 weeks (plus shipping time). If you have an event shortly, or your in-hand date is approaching quickly, this is likely the best option to meet your deadline.
- The turnaround time for custom hats can vary anywhere from 2 to 4 months, depending on different variables of the order. One variable that comes into play is your delivery date, which will help inform the shipment method of your order.
- Air shipping: 2 – 2.5 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 2 weeks for shipping)
- Ocean shipping: 3 – 4 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 3 months for shipping)
Are 6‑panel hats the same as traditional trucker hats?
Historically, 6‑panel hats and trucker hats have had a few distinct differences. In more recent times, the distinction has blurred a bit. Here are the traditional differences between the two:
- Trucker hats classically feature a foam front with a mesh back. 6‑panel hats are typically made of canvas or cotton without mesh back panels.
- Trucker hats traditionally have a wide, flat brim and an unstructured crown that can be bent and folded. 6‑panel caps have a more structured crown with a curved brim that keeps its shape.
- Trucker hats most often feature a snapback closure. While 6‑panels can have snapback adjusters, they also frequently come in fixed-fitted or flex-fit styles.
- The 6‑panel construction creates a boxy shape with a prominent front panel while the trucker hat has a domed crown that collapses more easily.
