What’s the best patch type for hats and headwear?

For hats and headwear, Laser Engraved Patches are usually our top recommendation. They’re classic, durable, and have the quickest turnaround since they’re manufactured domestically. The etched leather-look material pairs perfectly with structured hats and creates a clean, retail-quality aesthetic while being able to capture a high amount of detail in a design.

Embroidered patches are another strong choice for caps and toques when you want a more textured, classic appearance. Woven and sublimated patches can also work well depending on your artwork, but we generally steer customers toward laser engraved options for speed, cost efficiency, and overall look on hats.
