Custom Hats

[Domestic] Add Embroidery or Patch to Existing Blank Hats

Let us customize our already in-stock laid back blank hats with your branding, for customers and / or employees. Embroidery or patches are added in the USA.

What's the minimum?

Minimums start at only 100 hats per design. The price shown includes the cost of the blank hat.

What's turnaround like? What happens after I pay? 

Once you pay and we receive hat details plus your e-mailed finalized vector artwork, we'll send you a digital proof for final approval and once we have that, we'll get you on our production schedule. Turnaround for embroidery is typically 2 weeks. If you decide to add a patch, please add an additional 2 weeks to the lead time.

What colors and styles are available?

Check out our Laid Back Blanks page to see what styles and colors are in-stock!

Yes, you can split the order into two different blank hat styles and/or colors, however, design and design colors must be the same on all hats.

Is it possible to do less than the 100 pcs minimum?

For any orders under 100 pcs, we highly recommend ordering our blanks via Wholesale and having them decorated by a local embroiderer or screenprinter. We can have our blanks shipped directly to them and in most cases, their minimums start at 12-24 pcs. 

Can I just order a sample of a custom hat? 

Sorry, we are not offering orders of customized hat samples at this time. If you want to see a blank sample, especially of a specific color, fabric, or style, we recommend purchasing whatever you're exactly trying to see here

How do I get started?

Please fill out the form above and complete payment to begin the customization process. Once submitted, please e-mail us vector artwork, to size, if you haven't already uploaded it above, so that we can get you a digital mock and get you on our schedule.


[Overseas] Fully Custom Hats

What's the minimum? Minimums start at only 200 hats per design for Full Custom.

What's turnaround like? What happens after I pay? Once you pay and we receive hat details plus your e-mailed finalized vector artwork, we'll get you on our schedule. 

Turnaround for our Custom Hat Program typically is 10-15 business days for photos of the one pre-production sample included in your order. Once those photos are approved, it will take approximately 30-45 business days, depending on our schedule, for full production.

What colors are available? *All colors on the drop down menu are available for full custom orders.* 

We make all of our custom hats, from scratch, so everything (colorwise, etc) is available for order regardless if a wholesale blank hat is in-stock or not. This is also why the process takes 30-45 days for full production, it's not as easy as putting embroidery on a blank hat!

Is it possible to do less than the 200 pcs minimum? Can we split the 200 pcs minimum into 2 colors or 2 different hat styles or designs? Sorry, we cannot take on any custom jobs under our 200 hat per design minimum or split into different colors, styles, or designs. We have taken considerations for time and various resources including fabric as we do our best to minimize waste. If you can't meet our full custom minimum, we highly recommend purchasing our blank hats, minimum 24 pcs, and having your favorite embroiderer add your logo to our blanks or letting us embroider these existing blank hats for you, minimum 100 pcs.

Can I just order a sample of a custom hat? Sorry, we are not offering orders of custom hat samples at this time. If you want to see a sample, especially of a specific color, fabric, or style, we recommend purchasing whatever you're exactly trying to see here

How do I get started? Please fill out the form above and complete payment to begin the custom hat manufacturing process. Once submitted, please e-mail us vector artwork, to size, if you haven't already uploaded it above, so that we can get you on our schedule.

You will be able to track the progress of the build of your hats on our Order Lookup Page.


Artwork

What are specs for artwork? The artwork should be to the size you'd like it made on your hat. Our max embroidery size is 2.5" x 5". We need vectorized files of your artwork saved as .ai, .eps, or .pdf. Do not send us flat images just saved as .ai, .eps, etc. they need to be actually vectors :)

Please make sure to outline your text -

  • - Select the type that you want to convert into outlines. Once this is selected scroll over to the “Type” drop down at the top of your screen.
  • - Select “Create Outlines” from the drop down.

We always recommend taking out a hat and a tape measure to figure out what logo size works best for your artwork. You could even size it up on your computer, print it out, and lay it on the front panels of a hat to give you an idea.
