Custom New Era Hats Canada - No Minimum Order

T-Shirt Elephant carries seven distinct New Era hat styles, each engineered for a different look, fit, and function. Whether you need structured corporate caps for your Toronto office, flat bill snapbacks for a Vancouver streetwear brand, or recycled beanies for an eco-conscious Calgary campaign, there is a custom New Era hat built for your exact purpose.

Structured & Adjustable Caps

The NE200 Adjustable Structured Cap ($21.70) is the foundation of the New Era custom lineup. A structured crown with adjustable strap closure gives a clean, professional silhouette that suits any logo. The NE208 Recycled Snapback ($23.20) adds eco-friendly materials with a snapback closure for modern appeal. Both styles are ideal for custom New Era hats Canada corporate programs.

Flat Bill & Snapback Caps

The NE400 Flat Bill Snapback ($20.70) delivers the high-profile, flat bill aesthetic that dominates street culture and sports teams. The NE205 Snapback Trucker ($22.85) adds a mesh back for breathability. These styles appeal to younger demographics and sports-oriented audiences ordering embroidered New Era hats.

Stretch Fit & Mesh Caps

The NE1000 Structured Stretch Cotton ($20.40) provides a fitted feel without individual sizing — stretch-fit construction adapts to each wearer's head. The NE1020 Stretch Mesh ($19.30) adds mesh panels for maximum breathability. Both are popular for outdoor events and active lifestyles across Canada.

Closure Comparison at a Glance

Adjustable strap (NE200): one-size-fits-most with buckle or fabric strap — best for corporate giveaways. Snapback (NE400, NE205, NE208): plastic snap closure — best for street style and sports teams. Stretch fit (NE1000, NE1020): elastic band — best for comfortable everyday wear. Choose based on your audience and the intended use of your New Era caps.

The Recycled Beanie Option

The NE907 Recycled Beanie ($18.60) rounds out the New Era lineup with a cold-weather option made from recycled materials. Perfect for Canadian winters, the NE907 accepts embroidered logos and makes a statement about your brand's sustainability values. Teams and organizations in Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal order these for fall and winter campaigns.

Adjustable New Era caps are the workhorse of custom headwear programs. With a one-size-fits-most design, you never have to worry about collecting individual sizes from your team or event attendees. Just pick the colour, add your embroidered logo, and distribute. The adjustable closure ensures a comfortable fit for virtually every head size — making these the simplest option for custom New Era hats Canada organizations order in bulk.

NE200 Adjustable Structured Cap — $21.70

The New Era NE200 ($21.70) is the most versatile cap in the New Era custom lineup. A structured, mid-profile crown maintains its shape throughout the day, while the adjustable strap in the back lets every wearer dial in their perfect fit. Available in 5 colours — Black, Dark Navy, Black/White, League Navy, and Scarlet — the NE200 suits corporate uniforms, trade show giveaways, and team apparel alike. This is the go-to embroidered New Era hat for businesses in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary.

NE208 Recycled Snapback Cap — $23.20

The New Era NE208 ($23.20) combines New Era's premium construction with eco-friendly recycled materials. The snapback closure offers a modern, adjustable fit, while the structured crown holds its shape for clean logo presentation. This cap appeals to sustainability-conscious brands and organizations across Canada that want their custom New Era hats to reflect environmental responsibility without sacrificing style or quality.

Best Uses for Adjustable Caps

Adjustable New Era caps excel in situations where you cannot collect individual sizes: trade shows, corporate onboarding kits, employee uniform programs, client appreciation gifts, and event giveaways. The one-size-fits-most design eliminates sizing headaches entirely. Companies in Montreal, Edmonton, and Ottawa rely on adjustable styles for large-scale distribution where simplicity and premium brand image matter equally.

Embroidery on Structured Caps

The structured crown of the NE200 and NE208 provides a firm, flat surface that is ideal for embroidery. Your logo sits cleanly on the front panels without puckering or distortion. The structured design also means the embroidered area maintains its shape even after extended wear — your New Era hats with logo look as sharp on day 100 as they did on day one.

Flat bill snapback caps from New Era carry the DNA of professional sports culture. The flat brim, structured high-profile crown, and plastic snap closure are the signature elements of the cap style that dominates sports sidelines, streetwear culture, and youth fashion worldwide. When you put your logo on a custom New Era snapback, you are aligning your brand with an aesthetic that resonates deeply with younger demographics and sports-oriented audiences across Canada.

NE400 Flat Bill Snapback — $20.70

The New Era NE400 ($20.70) is the classic flat bill snapback in the New Era custom lineup. A structured, high-profile crown provides maximum visual impact, while the flat bill delivers the modern aesthetic that sports teams and streetwear brands demand. Available in 5 colours — Black, Dark Navy, Scarlet, Royal, and Graphite — the NE400 is the most popular custom New Era hat for sports organizations, gaming teams, and youth-oriented brands in Toronto and Vancouver.

NE205 Snapback Trucker — $22.85

The New Era NE205 ($22.85) combines the flat bill snapback aesthetic with a breathable mesh back panel. Available in 8 two-tone colour combinations, the trucker style adds casual, outdoor appeal to the premium New Era construction. The mesh back provides ventilation for warm-weather events, outdoor festivals, and summer sports leagues. Embroidered New Era hats in the trucker style are popular for golf tournaments, outdoor events, and casual corporate wear across Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa.

Street Style & Sports Team Appeal

The flat bill snapback is the hat style most closely associated with professional sports culture. MLB, NFL, and NBA players wear flat bill New Era caps on and off the field, creating an aspirational connection for consumers. When your sports team, league, or brand orders custom New Era snapbacks, you tap into that cultural connection. Youth baseball teams, hockey organizations, and soccer clubs across custom New Era hats Canada markets order flat bill styles for their players and fans.

Styling & Wear Options

Flat bill snapbacks offer versatile styling — worn straight, slightly angled, or with a curved brim for a more traditional look. The plastic snap closure fits most head sizes, and the high-profile crown creates a bold canvas for large embroidered logos. The NE400 and NE205 are perfect for brands that want their New Era caps to make a visual statement.

Stretch fit New Era caps deliver the clean, fitted look of a sized cap with the convenience of a one-size-fits-most design. The elastic stretch band built into the cap's structure allows it to conform naturally to each wearer's head — no adjustable strap, no snapback, just a smooth, seamless fit. This makes stretch fit styles the most comfortable option in the custom New Era hats Canada lineup for everyday wear.

NE1000 Structured Stretch Cotton — $20.40

The New Era NE1000 ($20.40) is built with stretch cotton construction that provides a premium, fitted feel. The structured crown holds its shape for clean logo presentation, while 12 available colours — from Black and Dark Navy to Scarlet and Deep Orange — give you extensive options for brand matching. The NE1000 is the preferred embroidered New Era hat for corporate teams in Toronto and Vancouver who want a polished, professional cap without the visual bulk of an adjustable strap.

NE1020 Stretch Mesh — $19.30

The New Era NE1020 ($19.30) pairs the stretch-fit comfort of the NE1000 with mesh back panels for maximum breathability. Available in 10 colours, the NE1020 is engineered for active wear — golf outings, outdoor team events, summer festivals, and any situation where heat and ventilation matter. At $19.30, it is also the most affordable New Era cap in our custom lineup, making it an excellent choice for large-quantity orders in Calgary, Montreal, and Edmonton.

Fitted Feel Without the Hassle

Traditional fitted caps require individual sizing — S/M, L/XL, or even precise measurements. Stretch fit New Era caps eliminate that complexity entirely. The elastic construction accommodates a range of head sizes within a single cap, so you can order one size for your entire team or event. This is particularly valuable for promotional campaigns and employee programs where collecting individual hat sizes is impractical.

Active Lifestyle & Outdoor Use

The combination of stretch fit and mesh construction in the NE1020 makes it the top choice for active lifestyles. Golf tournaments, charity walks, outdoor corporate retreats, and summer sports leagues across Canada order custom New Era hats in the stretch mesh style for superior comfort during extended outdoor wear. The mesh back panels keep air flowing, while the stretch band ensures the cap stays securely in place during physical activity in Ottawa, Edmonton, and across the prairies.

The decoration method you choose for your custom New Era hats determines the final look, feel, and perceived value of the finished product. New Era's structured panels provide an ideal surface for precision embroidery — the firm, flat crown holds stitching cleanly without puckering, producing sharp, professional results that lesser caps cannot match. T-Shirt Elephant offers multiple decoration methods for embroidered New Era hats ordered across Canada.

Flat Embroidery — The Standard

Flat embroidery is the most popular decoration method for custom New Era caps. Thread is stitched directly into the cap's front panels, creating a clean, professional logo with a subtle texture. Flat embroidery works beautifully for detailed logos, text, and multi-colour designs. Thread counts range from 5,000 to 15,000+ stitches depending on design complexity, and our commercial embroidery machines handle up to 15 thread colours per design. This is the method Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary businesses choose most often.

3D Puff Embroidery — The Premium Look

3D puff embroidery adds foam underneath the stitching to create a raised, three-dimensional effect. The result is a bold, eye-catching logo that literally pops off the cap surface. 3D puff is popular for sports team logos, bold lettering, and brand marks where visual impact matters most. This premium decoration method transforms New Era hats with logo into statement pieces that demand attention.

Leather Patches & Woven Patches

For a distinctly premium look, leather patches and woven patches offer an alternative to direct embroidery. A debossed or laser-engraved leather patch sewn onto the front of a New Era cap creates an upscale, artisanal aesthetic. Woven patches deliver photo-quality detail that embroidery cannot replicate. Both options elevate custom New Era hats Canada brands order for executive gifts, premium merchandise, and high-end retail.

Placement Options

Embroidery placement on New Era hats includes front centre (the primary logo position), left or right side panels, and back of the cap above the closure. Front logos typically run 2–3 inches tall by up to 4 inches wide. Side logos and secondary marks are usually smaller — 1–1.5 inches. Our online designer at /design lets you preview all placement options before you order.

Premium Brand = Premium Decoration

New Era's structured construction and premium fabrics ensure embroidery results that lesser caps simply cannot deliver. The rigid front panels hold stitching perfectly flat, colours pop against the quality fabric, and the overall presentation reflects the premium positioning your brand deserves. When you invest in embroidered New Era hats, the decoration quality matches the cap quality — a combination that recipients in Montreal, Edmonton, and Ottawa genuinely appreciate.

Choosing between New Era, Richardson, and Flexfit is one of the most common decisions our customers face when ordering custom hats Canada-wide. All three brands deliver quality headwear, but each has a distinct identity, price point, and strength. Here is an honest, side-by-side comparison to help you pick the right brand for your project — and all three are available at T-Shirt Elephant.

New Era — Premium Brand Recognition

New Era hats offer the highest brand recognition of any cap manufacturer in the world. The iconic New Era flag logo on the side instantly communicates premium quality and authenticity. New Era's construction quality is the best in class — structured crowns, precise stitching, and premium fabrics that hold embroidery perfectly. Pricing ranges from $18.60 to $23.20 CAD for blanks. Choose custom New Era hats when brand prestige and premium perception are your top priorities — executive gifts, luxury merchandise, and high-end corporate programs in Toronto and Vancouver.

Richardson — Widest Colour Selection

Richardson is the trucker hat specialist, and the Richardson 112 is the single most popular custom trucker hat in North America. With 34+ colourways on the 112 alone, Richardson offers unmatched colour selection for brand matching. Pricing ranges from $12 to $18 CAD for blanks — making Richardson the value leader. Choose Richardson when you need specific colour combinations, trucker-style aesthetics, or budget-friendly bulk orders for events and promotions.

Flexfit — Stretch-Fit Pioneer

Flexfit invented the stretch-fit cap category and remains the leader in comfortable fitted headwear. The Flexfit 6277 closed-back fitted cap is the industry standard for stretch-fit comfort. Pricing ranges from $8 to $21 CAD for blanks — the widest range of any brand. Choose Flexfit when comfort and fitted aesthetics are your priority, especially for employee uniforms and daily-wear programs.

When to Choose Each Brand

Choose New Era for premium corporate gifts, executive swag, sports team merchandise, and any situation where brand prestige matters. Choose Richardson for trucker-style caps, specific colour matching, promotional events, and budget-conscious bulk orders. Choose Flexfit for stretch-fit comfort, employee uniforms, and everyday casual wear. All three brands are available for custom hats Canada-wide at T-Shirt Elephant — contact us if you need help deciding which is right for your project.

All Three Available at T-Shirt Elephant

T-Shirt Elephant carries custom headwear from all three premium brands. Browse our complete hat collections: New Era Hats, Richardson Hats, and Flexfit Hats. Our team in Calgary, Montreal, and Edmonton helps customers choose the right brand and style for every custom headwear project across Canada.

Corporate New Era hats have become one of the most effective branded merchandise items in Canada. Unlike generic promotional caps that feel cheap and look disposable, custom New Era hats carry inherent brand prestige that recipients recognize and value. When you hand an employee or client a New Era cap with your logo, you are giving them something they will actually wear — repeatedly, in public, becoming a walking advertisement for your brand.

Employee Uniforms & Team Wear

New Era caps make excellent uniform accessories for customer-facing teams. The structured, professional appearance of the NE200 Adjustable Structured Cap ($21.70) presents a polished image that aligns with corporate dress codes. Retail staff, field technicians, event staff, and brand ambassadors in Toronto wear embroidered New Era hats as part of their daily uniform — and the premium quality ensures the caps maintain their appearance through months of daily use.

Executive Swag & Onboarding Kits

New employee onboarding kits and executive welcome packages benefit from including a custom New Era hat. The premium brand signals to new hires that the company values quality and invests in its people. Vancouver tech companies, Calgary energy firms, and Montreal financial institutions include New Era caps in their onboarding packages alongside other branded merchandise. It is a small investment that makes a significant first impression.

Trade Shows & Client Appreciation

At trade shows and industry events, custom New Era hats Canada companies distribute stand out from the sea of generic giveaways. A New Era cap draws people to your booth and starts conversations. For client appreciation programs, sending a New Era hat with logo is a tangible thank-you that sits on a shelf or a hat rack — visible every day. Companies in Edmonton and Ottawa use New Era caps as their premium-tier client gift.

Corporate Programs Across Canada

T-Shirt Elephant supplies corporate New Era hat programs to businesses across Canada's major markets. Toronto headquarters, Vancouver satellite offices, Calgary field operations, Montreal client teams, Edmonton distribution centres, and Ottawa government contractors all order custom New Era hats through our streamlined bulk ordering process. We handle logo digitization, colour matching, and nationwide shipping under a single order.

Premium Brand Image

The brand you choose for your corporate headwear reflects on your own company's image. New Era hats communicate quality, attention to detail, and premium positioning — the same values that drive successful businesses. When your team wears New Era, your company's brand is elevated by association with one of the most respected names in headwear worldwide.

Ordering custom New Era hats Canada-wide from T-Shirt Elephant is a straightforward process designed to get your embroidered caps into your hands as quickly as possible. Whether you are ordering 12 caps for a small team or 500 for a national campaign, our process remains the same — simple, transparent, and backed by free design support at every step.

Step 1: Choose Your New Era Style

Browse our New Era hat collection and select the style that fits your needs. Consider your audience, the intended use, and your brand aesthetic. The NE200 ($21.70) is the most popular for corporate programs, while the NE400 ($20.70) leads for sports teams and youth brands. Need help choosing? Email us at [email protected] for a personalized recommendation.

Step 2: Upload Your Artwork

Upload your logo in our online designer at /design, or email your artwork file to us directly. We accept AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, and high-resolution PNG files. If your logo needs to be converted to an embroidery-ready format, our team handles the digitization at no extra charge. Every custom New Era hat order includes free artwork setup and digitization.

Step 3: Approve Your Proof

Before production begins, we send you a digital proof showing exactly how your embroidered New Era hat will look — logo placement, thread colours, and stitch count. You review and approve the proof, or request changes. We offer unlimited revisions until you are completely satisfied. This step ensures there are no surprises when your caps arrive.

Step 4: Production

Once your proof is approved, your custom New Era hats enter production at our Canadian facility. Standard production time is 10 business days. Rush production is available in 5-7 business days for time-sensitive orders. Every cap is quality-checked before shipping to ensure your logo is embroidered to our exacting standards.

Step 5: Shipping Across Canada

Your finished New Era hats with logo ship via tracked courier to anywhere in Canada. Free shipping on orders over $250 CAD. Toronto-area customers can arrange local pickup at our North York facility. Whether you are in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Edmonton, or Ottawa, your custom New Era hats arrive at your door fully finished and ready to wear.

No Minimum Order

T-Shirt Elephant has no minimum order requirement for custom New Era hats Canada orders. Need just 6 caps for your executive team? No problem. Need 500 for a national rollout? We handle that too. Our pricing scales with volume — the more you order, the less you pay per cap — but there is no minimum quantity to get started.

Custom New Era hats carry an unmatched authenticity in sports because New Era is the official on-field cap maker of Major League Baseball. When your team wears New Era, they wear the same brand trusted by professional athletes across North America. That heritage translates directly to your custom team merchandise — whether you are outfitting a baseball team, golf tournament, or hockey organization.

Baseball Team Merchandise

Baseball and New Era are inseparable. The NE400 Flat Bill Snapback ($20.70) is the closest thing to an MLB game cap you can customize with your own logo. Little league teams, beer league squads, and tournament organizers across Toronto and Vancouver choose New Era flat bills because players and fans immediately recognize the quality. The NE200 Adjustable Structured ($21.70) offers a classic curved-visor alternative for coaches and parents who prefer a traditional baseball cap silhouette.

Golf Tournaments & Corporate Outings

Golf tournaments demand premium headwear that sponsors and participants actually want to keep. Custom New Era hats deliver that premium feel. The NE1020 Stretch Mesh ($19.30) is a golf favourite — the stretch fit stays secure during the swing, and the mesh back keeps players cool on hot summer rounds. Golf events in Ottawa, Edmonton, and Calgary regularly order NE1020 caps embroidered with tournament logos and sponsor branding.

Hockey Team Merchandise

Hockey organizations use custom New Era hats as off-ice team merchandise, player gifts, and fundraising items. The NE205 Snapback Trucker ($22.85) is the go-to for hockey team stores — the casual trucker style pairs well with team jackets, and the snapback closure fits all head sizes. Minor hockey associations in Edmonton, rep teams in Toronto, and beer league clubs in Montreal order NE205 truckers as part of their team apparel packages.

Outdoor & Casual Athletic Wear

Beyond organized sports, New Era hats Canada customers order for running clubs, cycling teams, hiking groups, and outdoor adventure companies. The NE205 trucker with its mesh back panel handles outdoor heat, while the NE1020 stretch mesh provides athletic performance for active wear. Sports teams in Winnipeg, outdoor outfitters in Vancouver, and athletic clubs in Calgary trust New Era for durable, professional-looking headwear that performs in any environment.

Great artwork and smart design decisions separate professional-looking custom New Era hats from amateur ones. After producing thousands of embroidered caps, our team has distilled the most important design principles into actionable tips specifically for New Era's structured crown panels.

Logo Sizing for Structured Panels

New Era caps feature tall, structured front panels that provide an excellent embroidery canvas. The optimal logo size for front-centre placement is 2.5 inches tall — this fills the panel without crowding the seams or visor edge. Logos wider than 4 inches may need to be scaled down to avoid wrapping onto side panels. Our design team reviews every logo placement before production to ensure your custom New Era hats look sharp.

Artwork File Formats

For the sharpest embroidery results, provide vector artwork in AI, EPS, or PDF format. Vector files scale to any size without quality loss and convert cleanly to embroidery digitization. If you only have a raster image (PNG or JPG), ensure it is at least 300 DPI at the intended embroidery size. Low-resolution logos are the number one cause of disappointing results on New Era hats Canada customers order.

Colour Contrast on New Era Cap Colours

New Era caps come in a wide range of colours — from classic black and navy to bold red and royal blue. Choose embroidery thread colours that create strong contrast against the cap fabric. White or light thread on dark caps and dark thread on light caps ensures maximum visibility. Metallic threads add premium flair for corporate brands. Our team matches Pantone colours precisely for your custom New Era hats.

3D Puff vs Flat Embroidery

New Era's structured crowns are ideal for 3D puff embroidery — a technique that raises the stitching off the cap surface for a bold, dimensional look. 3D puff works best on simple, bold logos with thick lettering. Detailed logos with fine lines should use flat embroidery instead. Most sports teams and brands in Toronto and Vancouver choose 3D puff for their primary logo on the front panel.

Front, Side & Back Panel Placement

Beyond the front centre, custom New Era hats support embroidery on side panels and the back closure area. Side logos are typically 1.5–2 inches tall — perfect for secondary branding or sponsor logos. Back embroidery above the snapback or adjustment strap works well for website URLs or small taglines. Multi-location embroidery turns a simple cap into a complete branded piece.

Getting the sizing right on custom New Era hats is essential — especially when ordering for a team or corporate group with varying head sizes. New Era offers three closure systems across our lineup: stretch fit, snapback, and adjustable strap. Here is the complete sizing breakdown for every style we carry.

New Era Hat Sizing Chart

Head Measurement Guide

To determine hat size, measure around the head with a flexible tape measure approximately one inch above the eyebrows, across the forehead, and around the widest part of the back of the head. A typical adult head measures 21–24 inches (53–61 cm). For stretch fit styles like the NE1020 and NE1000, choose S/M for heads under 22.5 inches and L/XL for larger heads.

Team Ordering Tips

For team orders of custom New Era hats, OSFM (One Size Fits Most) styles like the NE400, NE200, NE205, and NE208 simplify ordering — no need to collect individual sizes. If you prefer the fitted feel of stretch styles, a safe distribution for a typical team is: 40% S/M and 60% L/XL. Organizations in Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal ordering large quantities should request a sizing sample before committing to ensure the perfect fit for their group.

New Era has been manufacturing headwear since 1920, and their century of experience shows in every custom New Era hat we carry. As the official cap maker of Major League Baseball, New Era applies MLB-grade quality control standards across their entire product line — including the custom caps you order from T-Shirt Elephant.

Structured Crown Construction

Every New Era cap features a structured crown with internal buckram stiffening that maintains its shape wear after wear. Unlike unstructured caps that collapse and lose form, New Era hats hold their profile from the first wear to the hundredth. The structured front panels provide a flat, stable surface that is ideal for crisp embroidery reproduction — logos look sharp and dimensional rather than distorted.

Fabric Composition

New Era uses carefully selected fabric blends optimized for each cap style. The NE1000 ($20.40) uses a cotton/spandex blend for stretch comfort. The NE1020 ($19.30) combines a structured front with breathable mesh back panels. The NE400 ($20.70) and NE200 ($21.70) use cotton/polyester blends for durability and shape retention. Teams across Vancouver and Edmonton appreciate these fabric choices for their comfort in both summer heat and winter cold.

Recycled Polyester Innovation

New Era's commitment to sustainability is evident in the NE208 Recycled Snapback ($23.20) and NE907 Recycled Beanie ($22.50). Both use recycled polyester fabric that meets the same quality standards as virgin materials — same colour fastness, same durability, same embroidery compatibility. Eco-conscious brands in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa increasingly choose these recycled options for corporate merchandise programs.

Sweatband & Colour Fastness

New Era caps include a moisture-wicking sweatband that keeps the wearer comfortable during extended use. The sweatband also protects embroidery from perspiration damage. Fabric colours are dye-fast — they resist fading from sun exposure, washing, and perspiration. Custom New Era hats ordered for outdoor events in Calgary or summer festivals in Winnipeg maintain their appearance season after season.

Transparent pricing is a core value at T-Shirt Elephant. When you order custom New Era hats, you see real-time pricing in our online designer — no hidden fees, no surprise setup charges. Our pricing starts at $19.30 CAD per blank and scales down with volume.

New Era Hat Pricing

Embroidery Pricing

Embroidery decoration is added to the blank cap price. Custom embroidery typically adds $5–12 per hat depending on logo complexity, stitch count, and number of embroidery locations. Front-only logos with under 10,000 stitches fall at the lower end. Multi-location embroidery with 3D puff on the front and flat embroidery on the side and back will be at the higher end. Our online designer shows exact pricing as you build your custom New Era hats.

Volume Discounts

The more custom New Era hats you order, the less you pay per unit. Pricing tiers adjust automatically: 12+ standard team pricing, 24+ moderate volume discount, 48+ best published tier, 100+ contact us for wholesale quotes. Corporate clients in Toronto, event coordinators in Vancouver, and sports organizations in Montreal benefit most from volume pricing.

Free Shipping Over $250 CAD

All orders over $250 CAD ship free anywhere in Canada. For a typical 12-hat team order with embroidery, you will easily clear this threshold. Bulk orders from businesses in Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa ship at no additional cost.

T-Shirt Elephant produces custom New Era hats on a reliable production schedule designed to meet your deadline. Whether you need caps for a corporate event next month or a tournament next week, we have production options to fit your timeline.

Standard Production — 10 Business Days

Our standard turnaround for custom New Era hats is 10 business days from artwork approval to shipment. This timeline covers embroidery digitization, production, quality inspection, and packaging. Most team orders, corporate merchandise programs, and promotional campaigns fit comfortably within this window. Organizations in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal ordering well ahead of their event date should choose standard production for the best pricing.

Rush Production — 5-7 Business Days

Need your New Era hats sooner? Our rush production option delivers in 5–7 business days from artwork approval. Rush service is available for most New Era styles and embroidery configurations. A rush surcharge applies, but for time-sensitive events — product launches, last-minute tournaments, or urgent corporate gifts — the faster turnaround is worth it.

Free Shipping Across Canada

All orders over $250 CAD ship free anywhere in Canada. We ship to every province and territory: Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the territories. Major city destinations include Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg — plus everywhere in between.

Toronto Local Pickup

Toronto-area customers can pick up their custom New Era hats at our production facility at 18 Raitherm Road, North York, Ontario. Local pickup eliminates shipping time entirely — once your order is complete, we notify you and your hats are ready for same-day collection. Teams in Toronto, Mississauga, and the Greater Toronto Area regularly use local pickup to get their caps as fast as possible.

Proper care extends the life of your custom New Era hats and keeps them looking sharp for years. New Era caps are built with premium materials, but like all quality headwear, they perform best when cared for correctly. Follow these guidelines to protect your investment.

Spot Cleaning & Hand Washing

For routine maintenance, spot clean your New Era hat with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Target sweat stains on the sweatband and any surface dirt on the crown and visor. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cool water and a gentle soap — submerge the cap, gently agitate, and rinse thoroughly. Cool water preserves fabric dyes and prevents shrinking.

Never Machine Wash

Machine washing is the fastest way to ruin a structured cap. The agitation cycle can break down the internal buckram stiffening, collapse the crown, and bend the visor permanently. Custom New Era hats with embroidery are especially vulnerable — machine washing can snag, pull, or distort embroidery stitching. Always hand wash.

Drying & Reshaping

After washing, air dry your New Era cap at room temperature. Never put a cap in the dryer — heat warps the visor and shrinks the crown. While the cap is still damp, reshape the crown by placing it over a round form (a bowl, balloon, or coffee can works well). For flat bill styles like the NE400, keep the visor flat and weighted during drying to maintain its shape.

Storage Best Practices

Store New Era hats on a hat rack, shelf, or in a cap carrier where the crown can maintain its shape. Stacking heavy items on top of caps crushes the structured crown. Avoid storing caps in direct sunlight — prolonged UV exposure fades fabric colours over time. For long-term storage, stuff the crown with tissue paper to maintain its form.

Embroidery Care

Embroidered custom New Era hats require gentle handling around the stitched areas. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals on embroidery — these can weaken thread fibres and cause colours to bleed. When spot cleaning near embroidery, use a soft cloth and gentle circular motions rather than scrubbing directly on the stitching. With proper care, embroidery on New Era caps maintains its appearance for the life of the hat.
