Leatherette or genuine leather?

Leatherette is what most hat lines run. Genuine leather is what you reach for when the customer will hold the product before they buy it.

Backing options

Every patch is heat applied. Leatherette comes with either backing below; genuine leather comes with heat seal.

Heat-seal backing: a heat-activated adhesive layer

Heat seal included

A non-tacky heat-activated film. 300°F for 15 seconds with a cover sheet. The default for hats and apparel, and the backing on every genuine leather patch.

Tacky heat-seal backing with its liner

Tacky heat seal included, leatherette

Heat and pressure activated like heat seal, but tacky on contact, so the patch stays exactly where you put it while you press.

Patch questions

Can you cut a patch to the shape of my logo?

Yes, on both materials, at no extra charge. Send vector art with a closed outer path and pick Cut to logo in the configurator. Very thin necks or spikes narrower than about 0.1" will get softened so they don't tear.

What size should a hat patch be?

For a structured 6-panel, 3" × 2" is the workhorse. Low-profile and dad hats take 2.75" × 1.75" better. Rope hats and trucker fronts can go to 3.5" wide. Beanies use a folded tag, usually 2" × 1".

How long does production take?

Five business days standard from proof approval, three on rush, two on super rush. Rush is available on both materials at any quantity.

Are there setup or artwork charges?

Artwork that is ready to engrave costs nothing, and so does cutting to your logo's shape. If your graphic needs redrawing (a photo, a screenshot, a low-resolution file or a sketch), it is a flat $35, chosen in the builder. Layout work from scratch is quoted on the job. Anything that applies is shown before you pay, so there is never a surprise line item after the fact.
