Our heritage here at Fifth Column is firmly rooted in printing t-shirts, but that expertise has grown beyond the ever faithful tee to include a wealth of products and several different ways of decorating them. Nowadays, we screen print, direct to garment print and embroider a vast range of clothing and merchandise. Naturally, some items work better than others. Headgear is an interesting one and the best beanies for print & embroidery can be tricky. We thought we’d have a look at the humble beanie and pick out some which we know are going to look the business once they’re branded with your badge, adorned by a logo or decorated with a unique design. So, 7 beanies begging for embroidery.
Stanley Stella Fisherman Beanie
Say it in sustainable style with a Stanley Stella beanie. Their Fisherman beanie is a little beauty. And an eco-friendly customisation option into the bargain, made from 95% organic ring-spun combed cotton and 5% elastane. Lightly chunky, this beanie hat has a lovely fabric washed finish and features 1 x1 ribbing.
Beechfield Thinsulate Beanie (BB440)
Most beanies don’t lend themselves to printing (embroidery is the most common way of customising them) but here’s one that does! Described by Beechfield as the ‘printers beanie’ the Beechfield BB440 Thinsulate is made from 100% soft touch acrylic. The cotton twill patch at the front is designed specially for printing.
AS Colour Cuff Beanie (1107)
The AS Colour cuff beanie feels good and is going to look great with an embroidered logo or badge. It’s made from 100% acrylic and available in 7 shades which means it’s easier to match your branding or provide a choice of colour if you are creating custom merchandise for retail.
Neutral Certified Classic Beanie (093055)
These guys are expert at looking okay in a way that works for everyone – the farmers who produce the stuff and the people who wear it. Made from 100% organic Fairtrade cotton, their classic beanie hat has rock solid eco-ethical credentials. See our catalogues page for the full Neutral Certified Responsibility range.

Result Cotton Knitted Beanie (RC074)
The Result RC074 is a 100% knitted cotton, double thickness. This beanie hat also includes the ever popular cut out label, a favourite for custom branded merchandise if your plan involves relabelling. Check out our Full Collection brochure for more Result headwear (by the way, some colours of the RC074 are in transition).
Beechfield Organic Beanie (BB50)
Beechfield offer a wide selection of headgear that’s perfect for personalisation, but we like this organic cotton beanie. Keeping your head warm, looking good and being environmentally friendly strikes us as a sound approach. Double layer knit, with a cuffed design and a tear out label. What’s not to like?
Beechfield Organic Waffle Beanie (B52N
We’ll finish off with another organic beanie from Beechfield. You can’t beat organic material with most clothing, customised or otherwise, and beanies are no exception. That said, we are also big fans of garments which include recycled content. Anyway, back to the beanies that are begging for a spot of premium quality embroidery. The Beechfield organic cotton waffle beanie is some headgear that could be a stand-out with professional personalisation. It has a fabulous tactile feel to it and, being breathable, is an excellent option for milder weather. Plus, it’s designed for decoration, double-layered with a turned up cuff, which makes the process of embellishment more straightforward.
