Ram Headwear Making a Comeback in 2022

"We sold out of the Ram Caps within 6 months", says owner Jim Mickelson.

Ram Headwear was our flagship brand back in the 1980s and was very successful in the Pacific Northwest. The Ram style cap was one of the most sought-after caps for the construction and service industries. The Ram name disappeared in the 1990s due to the ease of purchasing caps locally from cap suppliers like Richardson and Port Authority. However, Ram Headwear did make a short reappearance in 2003 when we imported 10,000 caps with the Ram label.

In what capacity are the Ram caps coming back?

Due to the supply chain disruption, Ram caps are coming back in limited quantities. The turn time to get in a caps container is over six months. We partnered with Caps USA, a local cap importer from Seattle, to manufacture and label our RAM caps.

Northwest Custom Apparel's Operations Manager, Erik Mickelson, poses with his RAM cap while camping at Jedidiah State Forest in the Redwoods. "Camping in the Redwoods, you have changing weather throughout the day. Mornings are damp and cool, and as the sun rises at noon, temperatures are sunny and warm. I appreciate the RAM cap keeping my head warm during the mornings and cooling me off in the midday sun".

"The mesh back keeps your head cool during the basking midday sun of Northern California." - Operations Manager, Erik Mickelson

New Ram Style 112 inspired by Richardson Caps

Our inspiration for our new style #R112 is from legendary Richardson Headwear, who is the premier cap supplier since 1976. The new R112 is similar to the Richardson 112, but with some new bells and whistles. such as a softer plastic snapback. The R112 plastic was developed by Israeli scientists that helped develop the Kornit ink system.  Using the organic plastic composition used for the ink, we were able to use that technology to create an organic snapback.
