The 168P was built for this combination. The 100% polyester twill front isn’t just more UV and moisture-resistant than the standard cotton-poly 168 — polyester is the optimal base fabric for dye sublimation. The ink bonds more completely with synthetic fibers, which means your logo colors actually pop more on a 168P than they would on the solid-color 168. Add the seamless front panel — no center seam, no ridge, no patch distortion — and you have the most technically capable canvas in the Richardson lineup for a sublimated twill patch. Bold colors, smooth gradients, and a merrowed edge that creates a clean visual break between your logo and the camo behind it. For outdoor brands who want their hat to look as serious as their market.

Richardson 168P Dye Sublimated Twill Patch Hat — Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 168P considered the best hat for dye sublimated patches?
Hat Style
Two reasons working together. First, the seamless 7-panel front eliminates the center seam that distorts patch placement on standard hats. Second, the 100% polyester twill front is the optimal base fabric for sublimation — ink bonds more completely with synthetic fibers, meaning your logo colors actually pop more on the 168P than they would on a cotton-blend hat.
Does the busy camo pattern compete with the patch?
Hat Style
The merrowed edge on the twill patch is specifically what solves this. The heavy wrapped border creates a clean visual break between your logo and the camo behind it — the patch reads as a distinct element rather than blending into the pattern. A bold, colorful sublimated logo against Mossy Oak or Duck Camo is one of the strongest combinations we produce for outdoor brands. See the full 168P pattern lineup here.
How does the 168P handle moisture and UV compared to the standard 168?
Hat Performance
Meaningfully better. The 100% polyester twill front is more UV-resistant and moisture-tolerant than the cotton-poly blend used in the solid-color 168. For a hat that’s going to spend full days outside, the 168P is the more capable choice. The dye sublimated twill patch also handles moisture better than printed leather — making this the most field-ready combination on the page.
Can I use a logo with bright colors or gradients on a twill patch?
Decoration
Yes — this is where dye sublimation outperforms every other patch type. Bright saturated colors, smooth gradients, and complex multi-color logos all reproduce accurately because the dye bonds directly into the fabric fibers. Against the earthy tones of Duck Camo or Realtree, a vibrant sublimated logo reads with exceptional contrast. Not sure if sublimation is right for your logo? This patch style guide breaks it down.
Can I customize the merrowed edge color?
Decoration
Yes — we currently offer black or white merrowed edge options. On camo patterns, a black merrowed border tends to ground the patch against the background, while white creates a sharper contrast pop. Mention your preference in the Notes to Artist field at checkout.
How do I care for a dye sublimated patch hat used outdoors?
Decoration Care
The dye sublimated twill patch is one of the easiest decoration types to maintain. Because the dye is bonded into the fabric rather than sitting on top, the patch handles gentle cleaning without special precautions — and holds up to moisture better than leather options. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry to protect the hat’s structure over time.
