YP Classics

A sustainable approach

As the world becomes increasingly concerned about the impact of climate change, at Yupoong® we’ve taken practical steps to make a real difference.

We have developed a range of environment-friendly caps made from sustainable fabrics that either meet or exceed the most stringent standards.

Our Rescued + Renewed cap range takes this a step further by using recycled plastic to create materials with which to manufacture our caps.

When you purchase a cap from Yupoong®, you can be sure that it won’t cost the earth.

How our classic Yupoong® snapbacks are made

Attention to detail is at the heart of everything we do.

Classic Yupoong hats are built on intense attention to detail. We begin the process of creating our caps by inspecting and cutting the fabric. The panels are cut using hydraulic machines that create a consistent end result.

The stitching process begins by machine stitching the front panels, with the crown and visor stitched simultaneously and ready to be added later. Another layer of fusing fabric might be added to the back of the front panel to give the cap the raised shape of its crown.

It’s at this stage that the front panel is embroidered with individual graphics and logos using high-tech digital techniques. The logos and designs you choose are what make your classic cap unique, and you can be confident that we can apply your designs accurately and effectively.

Next, the eyelets are machine punched in the panels to allow for proper air circulation, which reduces the build-up of heat beneath the cap. Fabric tapes are added into the seams from the inside which ensures that there are no exposed edges inside the cap.

The visor is made by stitching two fabric panels to create a pocket and turning them inside out. Our unique Permacurv® visor insert is placed in between the fabric to create a stiff visor which is then sealed from the hem. Depending on the particular requirements of the design, the visor can be rigid using our Permacurv® technology or soft using our Flexible visor technology. Automatic stitching machines will then complete the visor to ensure the highest quality finish. It’s then attached and stitched to the crown.

All that’s left to do is attach the sweatband to the base of the crown with a decorative topstitch. A cloth snap is added to the top of the cap where the panel seams converge and an adjustable closure is added at the back. This can be fabric or plastic depending on the design.
