How it works

How hat orders work

1

Send your idea or logo

Send your logo, a sketch or an idea, and tell us the hat style and how many you need.

2

We quote your order

We look at your logo, patch and hat choice, then send you a quote before anything is made.

Your patches are pressed onto the hats.

4

We let you know as soon as your hats are done, so you can get them to your team.

The process

How we make it

Pick your patch

Woven, embroidered, PVC (raised rubber), printed, or laser engraved leather, shaped around your logo.

Pressed on

Each patch is pressed onto the hat with heat and pressure for a clean, lasting finish.

Stitched on

Patches can also be stitched onto the hat. Tell us which you prefer when you ask for a quote.

Checked and ready

Every hat is checked before your order is ready.

Small runs and big orders

A handful of hats for a new brand or event, or a full order for the whole crew. Patch hats work for both, and every hat in the order gets the same clean, even press, or we can stitch your patch on for a premium price.
