  • FTB 6-Panel Brushed Cotton Field Trip – The brand’s original silhouette, constructed from ultra-soft cotton twill with a timeless workwear aesthetic and premium brass hardware.
  • FTC Corduroy Field Trip – A textured, corduroy five-panel cap that pairs nostalgic styling with a soft hand feel and elevated finish.
  • FTS 5-Panel Brushed Cotton Field Trip – A modern five-panel design offering clean decoration space, soft structure and adjustable snapback closure.
  • TTS Two-Tone Workhorse – A classic five-panel cap featuring bold color blocking, a slightly curved bill and an easy, everyday fit.

Together, the styles are designed to provide decorators with versatile, fashion-forward blanks that perform both before and after customization.
