What You Can Customize When Designing Your Own Hat

Colors

Choose from a wide range of hat colors, thread types, and patch materials. Need a match for your brand colors? We can work with Pantone or digital files. Not sure what to pick? We’ll help you find something that works.

Quick tip: The cleanest designs usually come from contrast — dark on light or light on dark. But don’t be afraid to experiment with more subtle tones.

Text

Include whatever text you want — stacked, curved, spaced out, or tightly packed. You control how it looks.

Artwork

Upload your art — a logo, a sketch, a patch design — and drop it where it fits. JPGs and PNGs work fine, but a vector file like AI or EPS gives the best results. We can help you polish it, too.

Patches

Want something elevated? Add custom patches — leather, embroidered, woven, sublimated, and more. You can customize the shape, stitching, and edge finish for a premium look. Perfect for logos, badges, or designs with texture and depth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Designing Custom Hats

Before you start designing your own hat, here are a few things people usually ask — from files to timing.

Can I really just design one hat?

Yes — even if you’re designing your own hat in Salem, OR, for a small group, low minimums make it easy. Pricing depends on your hat style, how many you need, and how many thread colors you use. Shipping is always included.

What file types can I upload for designing a hat?

Upload your JPG, PNG, or GIF file through our quote form — we’ll take care of the rest.

Will I see a preview before my hat is made?

You’ll preview your hat in the designer, then get a final proof to approve. Nothing moves forward until it’s locked in and looking right.

What’s the difference between embroidery and patches?

Whether you want embroidery or patches, we offer both for designing custom hats in Salem, OR. Embroidery is stitched into the hat, while patches can add dimension or vintage style.
