Decky 961 relaxed polo bucket hat, custom decorated
The Decky 961 is the bucket hat most of our orders start with. Relaxed polo-twill crown, stitched brim, fitted sizes, and a front panel that takes a logo cleanly. Battle Born Clothing buys Decky direct and decorates it in-house.

Why the 961 leads our bucket hat orders
It is the plain, comfortable bucket people actually wear: no stiff crown, no shiny finish, a brim that folds into a pocket. The front panel is wide enough for a 2.5-inch logo and the fabric holds embroidery without puckering once it is hooped on a backing. We buy it direct from Decky, so colors that are not in a SanMar warehouse are still reachable.
Best uses
- Festival and event staff hats where sun matters more than structure.
