Thanks for stopping at CraniCaps.  We are the premiere Custom Embroidery Surgical Cap Solution.  CraniCaps was started 14 years ago in Parkville, Maryland; like so many before I was working in the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center.  I had purchased a lot of hats from friends who were selling them but I could never find that fabric that made me say “That’s me”.  My wife (Mary) showed me how to how to cut a pattern and sew a cap together before I knew it people were asking me for hats.  It started with a few hats and some extra money for mochas.  Then the requests started to increase.  I started to think, how I could ramp it up a bit so I purchased a home embroidery machine from Bears Paws from a great lady named Spanky.  Spanky tutored me to the world of embroidery and I produced my 1^st embroidered surgical cap which I dubbed CraniCap.  I could not have imagined the results, the orders kept progressing and it was more than my little Bernina could take, so a decision had to be made slow down or JUMP.  Needless to say, I jumped into commercial embroidery machines.  I having been making surgical hats locally for a while with an occasional corporate order for companies like GE Healthcare, Olympus ect. 

The next step was obvious, share CraniCaps with the world.  We take great pride in all aspects our production, and materials that go into our products. We will never outsource beyond our shores.  The embroidery thread/ bobbins (Filtec) and our fabric labels (Pittsfield Weaving Company) all made in the USA.           

Our goal is to bring more personalization to the scrub hat by using embroidered images ready to reflect your style and personality and plastisol for a monochromatic appeal.    

The Gallery cases some of our completed custom works.  If a custom cap is not for you then browse through our “Off the Rack” where we have limited quantities of fabric styles that has a certain je ne sais quoi.

CraniCaps are a great gift for Birthdays and Holidays; you can wear them in the operating room or other medical arenas.  There’re great for bad hair days.  Some of our customers wear them for backyard BBQ, gardening, working on cars, painting ect. 

CraniCaps are made here, in Parkville, Maryland, we pledge to live by our motto “Evolve”...  Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, we appreciate your time and business

Sincerely,

Bryan B. Ferguson
