Custom Cadet Caps Manufacturer
The cadet cap's flat top and straight wall read military-inspired without trying too hard, which makes it a favourite for streetwear drops and heritage-leaning brands that want something other than a rounded crown. NanCrown builds cadet caps in washed denim and cotton, with a distressed brim that shows the fabric's texture rather than a clean factory edge.
Raw-edge appliqué lettering with outline embroidery is the signature decoration on our base build, and it's a placeholder for your own wordmark or logo — swap the artwork and keep the construction. We work from your design files, confirm the fit and finish with a pre-production sample, and manufacture factory-direct in Guangzhou with a 50-piece-per-colour minimum — OEM/ODM welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from brands and wholesale buyers
What is the minimum order for custom cadet caps?+
Our MOQ is 50 pieces per colour, a practical size for a streetwear drop or a first run of a heritage-styled cap.
Can you replace the lettering with our own logo?+
Yes — the appliqué lettering on our base build is a placeholder. We rebuild it with your wordmark or logo, using the same raw-edge appliqué and outline embroidery technique.
What gives the cadet cap its worn-in look?+
The washed denim or cotton fabric and a distressed brim edge that shows the warp threads underneath — both part of the base construction, not an added print effect.
