Step inside a bright studio where racks of trucker caps in every color line a long workbench and the hiss of a heat-press punctuates conversation. You choose a hat, sort through stacks of embroidered patches and vinyl letters, and a patient instructor walks you through layout, pressing, and finishing — an hour from blank cap to finished piece.
