DL COLLECTION · SPECIAL EDITION
FOR A LIMITED TIME THIS ITEM SHIPS FREE!
Most embroidered hats rely on a handful of thread colors and keep it simple. The DL Collection Special Edition Full Color Embroidered Dad Hat is a different thing entirely. A 3-inch full-color embroidered design — stitched directly into 100% cotton chino twill — with an unlimited thread palette that delivers depth, gradient, and detail that ink simply cannot replicate. Not printed. Not patched. Stitched.
Low-profile, relaxed fit, with a vintage-inspired antique brass buckle closure and a moisture-wicking sweatband built for all-day wear. Part of the DL Collection — PCC's premium special edition line.
Why Full-Color Embroidery
Standard embroidery caps at around 15 thread colors — which means complex artwork gets flattened and simplified to fit within the limit. Full-color embroidery removes that ceiling entirely. Gradients, multi-tone shading, intricate detail: all of it is possible, all of it is stitched directly into the fabric.
The result is a 3-inch front panel design that carries the visual richness of a printed graphic but with the texture, dimension, and permanence of true embroidery. It will not crack. It will not peel. It will not fade. It only gets better with wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this a "Special Edition"?
The Special Edition label reflects both the DL Collection positioning as PCC's premium line and the full-color embroidery technique — an unlimited palette process that goes far beyond standard embroidery to deliver vivid, detailed, multi-tone stitching. It's elevated in design, elevated in craft.
Q: What is full-color embroidery — and how is it different from regular embroidery?
Standard embroidery is typically capped at around 15 thread colors per design. Full-color (unlimited palette) embroidery removes that ceiling — allowing for complex gradients, fine detail, and vivid multi-tone results. And unlike printing, embroidery never fades, cracks, or peels. It gets better with age.
Q: Will this hat fit my head?
Yes — the adjustable antique brass buckle closure makes this a truly one-size-fits-most hat. The low-profile, unstructured construction also gives it a more forgiving fit than a structured cap, sitting naturally on a wide range of head sizes without feeling stiff.
Q: What is it made from?
100% cotton chino twill — a breathable, durable weave built for everyday wear. It features sewn ventilation eyelets and a moisture-wicking interior sweatband to keep you comfortable through long days.
Q: How do I care for this embroidered hat?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Hand wash if needed — do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the embroidery and keep the pre-curved visor in shape.
Q: Is Pride Clothing Co. actually LGBTQ+-owned?
Yes — 100%. Pride Clothing Co. is a proudly LGBTQ+-owned and operated business, community-focused since we first opened. No rainbow washing. Just genuine queer-owned apparel made for the community, by the community.
