Match the Patch to the Hat
The same patch can sit differently on a firm crown, curved surface, or open weave.
- Artwork: Protect essential text, lines, and colors at the finished size
- Patch build: Define material, thickness, flexibility, edge, backing, and attachment
- Placement: Mark the crown curve, measured position, and reverse-side finish
Choose Your Patch Type
Choose by the finish your artwork needs and how the patch must bend on the hat.
1. Leather and Leather-Look Patches
A solid panel for pressed, engraved, printed, or stitched branding.
- Appearance: Clean shape, defined edge, and visible material surface

2. Embroidered Patches
Raised thread texture for logos that work with visible stitching.
- Detail range: Bold shapes and readable production-size text
- Specify: Base fabric, thread colors, stitch coverage, border, and backing
- Sample check: Legibility, loose threads, stiffness, curve, and attachment
3. Woven Patches
A flatter thread surface for compact artwork and finer woven detail.
- Detail range: Smaller text and lines within the approved patch size
- Specify: Thread colors, weave, edge, backing, shape, and dimensions
- Sample check: Color separation, readability, flexibility, and mounted shape
4. Printed Fabric Patches
A flat fabric option for detailed or multi-color graphics.
- Artwork fit: Detailed graphics, gradients, or several printed colors
- Specify: Fabric, production file, print area, border, cut line, and finish
- Sample check: Clarity, alignment, contrast, edge, flexibility, and attachment
