Fit & Feel

Richardson 111 trucker — a lighter-weight alternative to the 112. Natural/tan front panels, bold red visor, black mesh back, adjustable snapback closure fits most.

Patch & Craftsmanship

An authentic retro-style embroidered patch featuring the classic script logo with "MERCHANDISE" block lettering and a black border accent — fully embroidered, then commercial heat-press applied, not printed.

Lifestyle

From 1934 to 2002, Service Merchandise was an American retail institution — the catalog experience, the jewelry counter, and the famous conveyor belt bringing your purchase out from the warehouse. It was a middle-class American shopping ritual, especially around the holidays, until the chain closed for good in 2002. Perfect for Gen X and Millennials who remember the experience, and nostalgia and vintage retail enthusiasts.

Care

Spot clean the natural and red panels with a damp cloth — avoid the washing machine.

Why You'll Love It
