does anyone know what brand of blank hats DLX uses for its brands? for example the unstructured 5 panels i see for Krooked & Real always have the fit that i love.... anyone know?
The DLX caps haven't been on existing blank stock for a while now, maybe over a decade, if I can recall from some info a while back.
They source their own manufacturing for their caps, rather than just getting Yupoong or some other existing brand to put their logo on.
At least that is how they come across, with no other branding and their headwear fits differently to almost every other cap I have tried on.
while i appreciate your always knowledgeable responses, this was not what i wanted to hear lol
Yeah for sure!
Sometimes I know it has been good to track down the generic brand / blank manufacturer of whatever I liked and bought dozens of them, such as Gildan tshirts and Yupoong trucker caps, but others have become more mysterious or difficult to get, mainly because nowdays it works out cheaper if they are a bigger brand and can get everything made from their own patterns from somewhere in the world that doesn't cost a lot in production or care about trademarks / having to pay another company or brand for their products.
I would say though, don't give up and have a look at / check out some of the blank manufacturers, even if they are just online, which is where I found quite a few good deals on cheaper products like hats that I have sewn patches on over the years.
In AU, AS Colour has a pretty good range of their own brand blanks, but I often used to look through wholesale uniform manufacturers websites for similar things, many of whom are based in USA and other places round the world.
