Product Overview
The Flexfit by Yupoong Tartan Plaid cap (YP042) represents a sophisticated intersection of traditional heritage patterns and modern headwear technology. Constructed from a substantial, medium-heavy fabric, this cap offers a structured profile that remains consistent through daily wear. It is an ideal choice for businesses seeking a uniform accessory that balances a classic aesthetic with a professional, contemporary fit.
Key Features
- Fashionable Plaid Fabric: The patterned weave provides a textured, premium appearance that distinguishes your brand from standard solid-colour headwear.
- Hard Buckram: This reinforced internal lining ensures the front panels maintain their shape and do not collapse, preserving the cap's professional silhouette over time.
- Silver Coloured Undervisor: A subtle design detail that offers a clean, neutral contrast to the patterned exterior while reducing glare for the wearer.
- Flexfit Technology: The inclusion of elastane within the fabric blend allows for a comfortable, adaptable fit that contours to the wearer's head shape.
Design & Performance
The material composition consists of 64% polyester, 34% viscose, and 2% elastane. The polyester provides essential durability for work environments, while the viscose offers a soft, high-quality feel similar to traditional wool. The small percentage of elastane is critical, as it provides the stretch required for the Flexfit system, ensuring the cap stays secure without being restrictive.
Furthermore, this product adheres to Amfori BSCI and REACH standards, reflecting a commitment to ethical manufacturing and chemical safety. The structural integrity provided by the hard buckram is particularly important for longevity; it prevents the cap from becoming misshapen even during active use on site or in retail settings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The structured nature of the YP042 makes it an excellent candidate for customisation. The hard buckram provides a stable, flat surface that is particularly well-suited for embroidery. We recommend embroidery for a superior, professional finish; it adds a tactile dimension to your logo that complements the plaid pattern. For larger, more complex graphics, our high-quality print methods ensure sharp detail and vibrant colours.
Our expert team in Telford has been refining these processes since 1976. We handle all customisation in-house, ensuring that every stitch or print meets our exacting standards before it reaches your team.
Use Cases
This cap is perfectly suited for front-of-house staff, retail environments, or outdoor hospitality teams who require a smart, cohesive look. It is also a popular choice for corporate gifting and events where a standard baseball cap might feel too casual.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the S/M fits head circumferences of approximately 55-58cm, while the L/XL is better suited for 58-61cm. Due to the Flexfit technology, the cap will provide a slight stretch to accommodate variations between these measurements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the crisp appearance of the plaid fabric, this cap should not be washed. Introducing moisture to the hard buckram can cause the internal support to soften and lose its shape permanently.
Chlorine bleach must be avoided as it will strip the colour from the plaid pattern and weaken the fabric fibres. Similarly, the cap should not be tumble dried or ironed; excessive heat will damage the elastane components, causing the cap to lose its signature stretch and fit.
Dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemicals involved can interact poorly with the internal buckram and fabric dyes. For maintenance, we suggest a light brushing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth if absolutely necessary.
