Jersey Lined Beanies: The No-Itch Custom Beanie (Sportsman SP12JL)
Short answer: a jersey lined beanie is a cuffed knit beanie with a smooth, T-shirt-like polyester lining sewn inside. The lining keeps the knit from itching and adds a light layer of warmth. Our go-to is the Sportsman SP12JL 12" Jersey Lined Cuffed Beanie: 9 colors, from $7.72 blank, embroidered on the cuff with your logo.
What a Jersey Lining Does
- No itch. Acrylic knit against bare skin bothers some people. The jersey lining covers it.
- A little warmer. Two layers hold more heat than one, but the hat stays thin.
- Wearable indoors. Unlike fleece or sherpa, it does not get too hot inside a store, office or classroom.
- Feels better made. A lined hat feels like a step up from a basic beanie, for only a couple of dollars more.

Who Jersey Lined Beanies Are For
- Staff uniforms: restaurants, retail, front desks, delivery drivers. Comfortable enough for an eight-hour shift.
- Schools and booster clubs: Red, Royal, Navy, Forest and Pink cover a lot of school colors.
- Customer and employee gifts: a lined beanie feels more like a gift than a giveaway.
- Anyone who says beanies are itchy.
Jersey vs Unlined SP12
The unlined Sportsman SP12 costs less (from $5.76) and comes in far more colors (35), so it wins on big giveaway counts and exact color matching. The SP12JL wins on comfort. Many customers order the SP12 for events and the SP12JL for their own staff. Need more warmth? See fleece lined beanies or the full jersey vs fleece vs sherpa comparison.
How We Decorate Beanies
Every beanie is embroidered in our shop in Yerington, Nevada. The logo goes on the cuff, the folded band at the front, which gives a flat surface about 2" tall. We digitize your logo for knit (stitch density and underlay are set differently than for a cap or polo) so it sits flat and does not sink into the knit.
- Flat embroidery is the standard. Knit fabric does not hold 3D puff foam, so we do not recommend puff on beanies.
- Laser-engraved leather patch is the other option and looks great on chunky and lined beanies. See custom leather patches.
- Thin lines and tiny text get lost in a knit. Keep lettering bold and at least about 0.25" tall.
Pricing for decoration is on our pricing page; embroidery and leather patches have no minimum. Standard turnaround is about three weeks from an approved proof, and rush is available for a fee.
