VS Wear designs and manufactures custom lawn bowls caps for Australian bowls clubs, with UPF-rated fabrics that provide certified sun protection for extended outdoor wear across a long day on the green.
Every cap is produced factory-direct, backed by a free design service with unlimited revisions, and a remake guarantee that covers any caps arriving off-spec from the design your club signed off.
From social bowls members through to pennant sides and state association representatives, our design team supplies caps that combine genuine sun protection with the club identity members genuinely want to wear both on and off the green, at social events and around the clubhouse.
Not every member wants the same style of headwear, so a genuinely wide range is available to suit different preferences and levels of sun exposure.
Multiple style options are available including bucket hats, peaked caps and visors, so members can choose the style that suits their own sun protection needs and personal preference. Bucket hats and wide-brim styles tend to suit members wanting maximum coverage across the ears and neck during a long day outdoors, while peaked caps suit members who prefer a lighter, more casual look for shorter sessions or social bowls. Visors appeal to members who want sun protection across the brow without the warmth of a full cap, particularly during hotter summer sessions where every bit of extra airflow genuinely helps. Adjustable sizing systems ensure a comfortable fit across all head sizes, and ventilation eyelets promote airflow and temperature regulation through a long session in the sun.
Getting the right combination of style, sizing and sun protection matters more for a club buying across a whole membership than it might for a single individual purchase, since committees generally want one consistent decision that suits the widest possible range of members rather than several different products purchased separately by each person.

A cap is the most direct sun protection a bowler wears, so on this product UPF performance is a core spec, not a nice-to-have.
The fabric carries a certified UPF rating, and a moisture-wicking sweatband keeps the inside of the cap dry through a long, hot session. Because bowlers stand exposed to the sun for most of an afternoon with little movement, headwear does a bigger share of the sun-safety work than it would in a fast, high-rotation sport.
Bowls is played almost entirely outdoors, often by members in the age groups most sensitive to UV, so a cap that only looks the part without certified protection is not really doing its job. That is why the UPF rating is a genuine specification here rather than a marketing line, and why the brim and coverage options are built to actually shade the face and neck across a full day. Bucket and wide-brim styles give the most coverage for fair-skinned members or the harshest part of summer, while a peaked cap or visor suits shorter, cooler sessions.
Professional embroidery services cover club crests, logos and text, giving your caps the same traditional, textured finish many established clubs prefer.
Three-dimensional embroidery is available for club badges, giving club crests genuine depth and presence rather than a flat, printed-looking logo, and contrast stitching and sublimated panels are available for clubs wanting more complex graphics than embroidery alone can achieve. Custom interior labelling is also available, a small detail that adds a genuinely finished, professional feel to the cap. Contrast stitching in particular suits clubs wanting to lift a relatively simple embroidered logo with an extra layer of visual interest, without moving to a fully sublimated design. Sublimated panels are the better option for clubs wanting a bolder, more graphic-heavy cap, since sublimation handles gradients, multiple colours and fine detail in a way embroidery genuinely cannot replicate. Both approaches can be combined on the one cap where it suits the design, giving a club's headwear a level of finish that a plain embroidered logo alone would not achieve.
Digital design mockups show embroidery placement and colour accuracy before production, so your club can confirm the finished look properly before anything is actually manufactured. Get a quote for your club's cap design and our team will confirm placement and colours.
VS Wear is trusted by Australian lawn bowls clubs to supply headwear that matches the rest of their uniform, not just the shirt and pants.
Colour consistency is maintained with your other uniform pieces, so a cap ordered alongside a shirt or polo comes out matched exactly rather than approximated from a separate colour reference. VS Wear is Australian owned and operated with local service and support, so your club deals with a genuine local team throughout the process rather than an overseas call centre. Headwear is often the most visible everyday branding a club has, worn well beyond match day at social events, club functions and around town, so getting the colour and finish right matters more than it might first appear. A cap that clashes slightly with the rest of a member's uniform is a small detail, but it is exactly the kind of small detail that adds up across a whole membership wearing mismatched headwear sourced from several different places over the years.

Your approved design and colours stay on file, so reordering caps for new members is quick and needs no redesign. We keep it simple for volunteer committees: pick the cap style, confirm colours and crest placement, sign off a digital mock-up, and place the order. Many clubs add the caps to the same job as their shirts and polos, which keeps the whole kit matched to one colour reference and makes the per-item price work harder across a single larger order.
Embroidered caps need little care: a gentle hand or cold machine wash keeps the stitching and colour looking sharp, and reshaping the peak by hand while damp keeps the cap in good order for years.
