A dad hat mockup is a product template showing a blank, unstructured six-panel cap with a pre-curved brim and adjustable back strap. The hat surface is plain white so that custom designs, logos, or embroidery artwork can be composited onto it using rendering software or an API. This template includes six angles: worn on model, front flat, side profile, back closure, overhead, and macro detail.
Dad hats have an unstructured, soft crown that collapses naturally on the head, a low-profile fit, and typically use a slide buckle or strapback closure. Baseball caps usually have a structured, rigid front panel with a higher crown and often use a snapback or fitted closure. This mockup shows the characteristic soft crown, low profile, and brass slide buckle of a dad hat style like the Yupoong 6245CM.
Standard front panel embroidery for dad hats is approximately 4 inches wide by 2.25 inches tall, though this varies by supplier. Printful recommends checking their hat logo size guide for exact dimensions per product. The front panel design area on this mockup template corresponds to the flat front face of the unstructured crown, visible clearly in the front flat and three-quarter worn angles.
Yes. This template is designed for rendering via the SudoMock API, which outputs standard image formats (WebP, PNG, JPEG) at resolutions up to 10,000px. The rendered images are compatible with any marketplace or POD platform including Printful, Printify, Gelato, Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify. You upload your design, the API composites it onto the hat template, and you receive a finished product image.
SudoMock uses Multiply blend mode for fabric-based products like this cotton canvas dad hat. When your design is composited onto the white hat surface, the underlying twill weave texture remains visible through the artwork, simulating how embroidery or screen printing looks on actual fabric. The macro detail angle in this template clearly shows the diagonal cotton twill weave that appears through rendered designs.
No. This template is rendered through SudoMock's API or web-based Dashboard Playground. You provide your design image via a URL, and the rendering engine composites it onto the hat template automatically. No desktop software is required. The API accepts JSON payloads and returns rendered images in sub-second processing times.
This template includes six angles: a three-quarter front view worn on a male model (hero shot), a straight-on front flat product view, a side profile worn on a male model, a back view showing the brass buckle closure, an overhead flat lay showing full hat construction, and a macro close-up of the cotton twill texture and metal grommet. Each angle is rendered separately through the API.

“In short, great mockups communicate quality, usefulness, and experience at a glance.”
“For our hat listings, having six angles instead of one or two made a noticeable difference. Buyers want to see the closure, the brim curve, and how it actually looks when worn. We render all angles from a single template through the API, which keeps our catalog consistent across 400+ SKUs.”
“The print-on-demand market continues to expand rapidly, with wearable accessories like hats representing a growing segment of customizable products sold through e-commerce platforms.”
“Wearables including t-shirts, hoodies, and hats account for the vast majority of promotional product orders in the print-on-demand industry.”
“Dad hat mockups with multiple angles and realistic textures are among the most frequently used templates by POD sellers creating product listings for platforms like Etsy and Shopify.”
“High-quality product images with multiple angles are consistently identified as one of the most important factors in online purchase decisions.”
“Product mockups communicate quality and usefulness at a glance, making products more tangible to online shoppers who cannot physically handle the item before purchasing.”
This mockup template shows a white washed canvas dad hat photographed across six angles in a controlled studio environment. Two of the angles feature the hat worn by young male models against a neutral gray background with soft, even studio lighting. The remaining four angles present the hat as a flat product on a clean white surface with gentle shadow underneath. The hat is plain white with no logos, prints, or embroidery, providing a blank canvas for design placement via Smart Object rendering.
The primary hero shot captures a young male model with short brown hair, wearing the dad hat at a natural three-quarter angle. He is dressed in a dark navy crewneck shirt and looks slightly downward in a relaxed, editorial pose. The unstructured six-panel crown sits low on his head, and the pre-curved brim casts a soft shadow across his brow. The front panel design area, side panel construction, and one embroidered ventilation eyelet are all visible.
The front flat product view shows the hat resting on a white surface, facing the camera directly. Both side eyelets are visible as dark metal grommets, the center seam runs vertically down the front panel, and the fabric button sits at the crown. The brim displays multiple rows of concentric stitching. A slight shadow grounds the hat on the surface.
The side profile worn shot features a different young male model with short black hair, wearing a white crewneck shirt. The hat is pulled low, covering his eyes almost entirely, which highlights the low-profile crown height and the gentle pre-curved arc of the brim. The cotton twill weave texture is faintly visible on the crown panels.
The back closure detail view reveals the adjustable strap mechanism: an antique brass-tone metal slide buckle with a fabric tail, flanked by two brass grommets on either side of the rear opening. The back panels and rear center seam are clearly visible, along with two additional ventilation eyelets higher on the crown.
The overhead flat lay captures the hat from directly above, showing the full six-panel construction, the covered button at the top, and the symmetrical brim curve. Both front-panel eyelets are visible from this angle. The hat rests flat on a light gray surface.
The macro texture detail shot is a close-up of the front-left area where the brim meets the crown. The cotton twill diagonal weave pattern is clearly defined. Multiple rows of brim edge stitching are visible, and a single dark metal grommet eyelet sits on the side panel above the brim join.
The hat construction follows a standard unstructured six-panel dad hat pattern with a low-profile crown. The material appears to be a washed cotton canvas or cotton twill with a soft, broken-in hand feel. The brim is pre-curved with four to five rows of decorative stitching. Ventilation is provided by embroidered eyelets on each side panel and matching eyelets visible from the overhead angle. The adjustable back closure uses an antique brass metal slide buckle, consistent with styles like the Yupoong 6245CM.
The white front panel serves as the primary design placement area. Multiply blend mode compositing will allow the visible cotton twill texture to show through overlaid artwork, simulating the look of embroidery or screen printing on fabric. The white base is uniform across all six angles for consistent rendering results. This template is compatible with SudoMock's PSD rendering API and Dashboard Playground for programmatic mockup generation.
