Cotton and polycotton kids caps cover baseball, bucket, legionnaire, and school hat styles, each suited to different outdoor settings and sun protection needs. Baseball caps are the most common format, with a structured crown, adjustable strap, and a front panel for embroidery or a digital transfer. Bucket hats give all-round brim coverage in kids sizing with airflow eyelets. Legionnaire caps add a neck flap covering the back of the neck, making them the go-to choice for schools and childcare centres where Sun Smart compliance matters. Soft school hat styles use an elasticised toggle and a wide brim, fitting a range of head sizes from one bulk order. Adjustable sizing across most styles means one order covers an entire school year group or sports team without individual size runs.
A school that orders legionnaire caps rather than plain baseball caps for its outdoor activity programmes is making a very sound choice for sun safety. The neck flap meets Sun Smart requirements, gives uniform coordinators one less conversation to have with parents, and it's the one style kids actually wear every day at recess, on sports days, and on excursions.
Embroidery or full colour digital transfers depending on the complexity of the artwork. Regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval.
Good to Know
Which buyer types order kids caps most often?
Schools and childcare centres are the most consistent buyers, ordering for uniform programmes, sports carnivals, and excursion days, while junior sporting clubs order them in club colours for the season. Community groups, fundraising committees, and holiday camps also order them as giveaways.
What is the difference between a legionnaire cap and a bucket hat for kids?
A legionnaire cap has a peak at the front and a neck flap covering the back of the neck, giving more coverage than a plain cap. A bucket hat gives all-round protection from a downward sloping brim, with legionnaire styles common in school uniforms and bucket hats suiting events and outdoor use.
How does sizing work for bulk school or club orders?
Most styles use adjustable closures including elasticised toggles, velcro straps, or snap backs, so a single size covers a wide range of head sizes. This makes bulk ordering simpler for schools and clubs that don't want to manage individual size runs across a year level or team.
What is the minimum order?
Minimum orders start from 50 units for most styles. Regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval.
