What does it take to keep making custom headwear in the United States? In this episode of The Uniformer, Rick Levine talks with Michael Struck, Sales Manager at Graffiti Caps, about the Cleveland manufacturer’s approach to made-to-order caps, personal service, and domestic production.
Michael explains how customers can choose from a wide range of profiles, fabrics, materials, and decoration options—and why physical pre-production samples help turn ideas into successful orders. He shares how Graffiti serves uniform programs, promotional customers, independent brands, and organizations including the U.S. Postal Service and U.S. Navy.
The conversation also explores domestically sourced leather patches, detailed heat embossing, winter knit hats, and ongoing work on new mesh options. It is a practical look at how customization, craftsmanship, and close customer relationships create opportunities for American-made headwear.
