Quick Answer

The AS Colour 1181 Faded Bucket Hat is a premium headwear made for custom decoration. Made of 100% Cotton, it is intended for screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and other custom branding, and is a fit for apparel brands, uniform and team programs, events and retail merch. It is offered in 3 colourways.

Construction & Materials

The Faded Bucket Hat is made from 100% Cotton. A decorating style only works for a program if it is the same every time you order it — and that batch-to-batch consistency is exactly what lets decorators reuse one approved setup.

Fit, Sizing & Colour Range

The 1181 is offered in One Size. It comes in 3 colourways, giving programs room to match team, brand or seasonal palettes while keeping one consistent base style. Building a program around one style across several colours means you proof once and reorder freely — every colourway shares the same fit and decoration area.

Available Colours

The 1181 is stocked in 3 colourways: Faded Black, Faded Bone, Faded Grey. Running one style across this colour range lets a program cover multiple teams, brands or seasonal looks while keeping a single, consistent decoration base.

Decoration Compatibility

This is where the Faded Bucket Hat shines: AS Colour styles are made to be decorated, and Faded Bucket Hat takes ink and thread cleanly so your artwork looks its best. It is suited to screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and embroidery. A smooth, consistent surface gives screen printers clean registration and gives embroiderers a stable base for dense stitch counts. For DTG, lighter and mid grounds reproduce colour especially well, while darker grounds benefit from a white underbase. Always run a pre-production sample to lock in placement and finish before a full decoration run.

• Screen printing: best for bold, high-volume runs with a limited colour count; the even surface holds crisp edges.
• DTG: ideal for full-colour or photographic art in shorter runs; lighter grounds reproduce colour with the least ink build.
• Embroidery: a premium, durable finish for logos and left-chest marks; confirm stitch density suits the fabric weight.

Joe’s USA carries the AS Colour 1181 for wholesale and program buyers who reorder the same style across a season or a product line.

It sits alongside the full AS Colour Caps & Hats range and the broader AS Colour catalog for mixed orders.

Buyer & Reorder Workflow

A typical workflow: confirm the 1181 spec and colourway, run a decorated sample, approve placement, then schedule the main run — and keep that approval on file so reorders drop straight back in. Because the style is held consistent, later top-ups match the original without a fresh proofing cycle.
