About the No. 4 Trucker Hats (5-Panel Mesh Back)
No. 4 is a 5-panel mesh-back trucker hat, one of the 7 custom hat styles Reel48 decorates in Austin, TX. The mesh back keeps crews cool on job sites, and the foam or canvas front panel is the natural home for a PVC or embroidered patch.

With embroidery, pricing runs from $23.99 per hat at the 50-piece minimum down to $9.49 at 10,000, plus a flat $0.40 per hat for shipping. Add it to your cart — you approve a free digital mockup before production, and most orders deliver in 2–4 weeks.
Ways to decorate this hat
This style takes 4 of our 4 decoration methods. Choose one in the price table; our team confirms the fit for your artwork on the mockup before anything is produced.
Embroidery
The classic stitched look — thread sewn directly into the hat. Embroidery is the most durable decoration method, handles text and simple logos beautifully, and reads as premium on every style from trucker hats to ballcaps. Best for: established logos, monograms, and designs with up to a handful of colors.
PVC Patches
Molded 3D rubber patches with bold, raised texture. PVC patches are waterproof, nearly indestructible, and give hats a modern outdoor-brand feel. Best for: badge-style logos, outdoor and trade brands, and designs with clean shapes and strong contrast.
Silicone Patches
A sleeker, lower-profile cousin of PVC with a smooth, flexible finish. Silicone patches handle fine edges well and feel premium to the touch. Best for: minimalist marks, tech and lifestyle brands, and tone-on-tone looks.
Woven Patches
Thread woven into a flat patch at much higher detail than embroidery can achieve. Woven patches capture small text, thin lines, and gradients accurately. Best for: detailed logos, intricate artwork, and designs that lose fidelity when stitched.
