We ensure color accuracy in our patches using the Pantone color palette for PVC patches and matching thread colors for embroidered and woven patches. If you have a full-color logo, we recommend opting for sublimated patches to match your design. Before production starts, we will email you proof of your design, displaying the actual thread or Pantone colors used. You will have the opportunity to approve the design proof to ensure it matches your vision.

Heat pressing and hand stitching are two distinct patch attachment methods we offer. Heat pressing is our most popular choice, which provides a modern, clean look. It is also highly durable and suitable for everyday practical use.

Hand stitching, performed by our skilled in-house team, offers a classic, custom feel, ensuring the patch lasts as long as the hat. It adds a touch of durability and quality, making the product feel uniquely crafted.

Changing your patch design is possible, but only before approving the design proof. Switching between embroidery, woven, or sublimated designs is possible, depending on clarity needs. Changes from fabric to PVC or leather patches will incur fees due to their mold-based production. Minor adjustments like color changes are manageable without significant delays. We'll issue a new invoice for added costs or refund for reduced costs. However, please keep in mind that frequent changes may cause delays to your project.

Our in-house designers are skilled at adjusting designs to fit within your chosen custom patch shape, ensuring your vision comes to life just as you imagined.

• Avoid washing machines or dishwashers. Use spot cleaning or gentle hand washing with clothing detergent for minor stains.
• For cotton hats, occasional gentle hand washing is okay, but beware of sweat stains and fading over time.
• Polyester hats can be rinsed in the sink or shower after use, with spot cleaning as needed.
• Always air dry hats; never use a dryer.
• Be cautious with leather patches; avoid soaking to prevent staining and warping.
